The Grand Auditorium features solid Sapele back and sides paired with a Sitka Spruce top to create a punchy, sparkling midrange and warm, woody low-end character that balances a lively high end. The V-Class bracing scheme improves power and sustain, while the ever-comfortable Taylor neck provides a smooth feel for any playing style. ES2 electronics, and a hardshell case maintains its flagship personality, the 314ce is the complete Swiss Army knife acoustic guitar. FEATURES Grand Auditorium - the ultimate all-purpose acoustic embodied in Taylor’s signature shape. Sapele -  Sapele delivers one of the best all-around tonewoods there is, for any playing style. Stika Spruce - The choice of soundboard for most guitars, Sitka Spruce accommodates a versatile range of playing styles, and produces a broad dynamic range. Expression System® 2 - Using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design, the Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties. Venetian Cutaway - The Venetian cutaway is revered for its soft, curved lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway varies depending on the shape of the body. V-Class Bracing - Taylor's patented V-Class bracing is a groundbreaking new pattern — a new tonal engine — that marks a major shift away from classic steel-string bracing patterns.
