Taylor 314ce Studio Shaded Edge Burst

Taylor 314ce Studio Shaded Edge Burst
Serial Number: 2204246208
Weight: 4.56 lbs.

The Taylor 314ce Studio in Shaded Edge Burst (Serial #2204246208) is a Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric that pairs a torrefied spruce top with sapele back and sides. Torrefaction roasts the spruce to give it a broken-in, played-in voice from day one. Sapele adds warmth and a focused midrange, with a clear top end. In place of binding, the Studio design uses chamfered body edges, which soften where your arm meets the guitar and give it a clean, modern look. The gloss Shaded Edge Burst finish darkens toward the edges, and a black 3-ring rosette and tortoise pickguard complete the look. A Venetian cutaway opens up the upper frets, and this one weighs a light 4.56 lb.

Inside, Taylor’s V-Class bracing supports the top for strong volume and sustain. The Neo-Tropical mahogany neck has a Standard carve (.850" at the 1st fret, .890" at the 9th fret) and a satin finish, joined to the body with a bolt-on joint. The West African Crelicam ebony fretboard carries faux pearl 4mm dot inlays, a 15" radius, and 20 frets. The scale is 25.5", with a 1 11/16" white NuBone nut. The ebony bridge and ebony headstock match the fretboard, and Taylor nickel tuners with nickel buttons hold tuning.

For live use, the Taylor Expression System 2 captures the guitar’s natural acoustic sound, with volume, bass, and treble controls. Whether you’re a singer-songwriter who needs a stage-ready Grand Auditorium, a worship guitarist who wants a reliable plug-in acoustic, or a player stepping up to a Taylor 300 Series guitar for the first time, the 314ce Studio delivers. This 314ce Studio (Serial #2204246208) ships in a Taylor structured gig bag in tan with a burgundy plush lining. Order today from Brian’s Guitars, your authorized Taylor dealer.
