Striking Elegance – The Taylor 50th Anniversary Builder’s Edition 314 Ash/Spruce Acoustic Electric Guitar in Kona Burst
Crafted with hand-friendly design features, an inspiring tonewood pairing and a suite of celebratory appointments, the 50th Anniversary Builder’s Edition 314ce LTD offers exceptional comfort, playability, tone and aesthetics. This ultra-refined version of one of the best-selling U.S.-made acoustics boasts a bevy of comfort-enhancing features: a beveled armrest and cutaway, chamfered body edges and a contoured Curve Wing bridge. Urban Ash back and sides, responsibly sourced from Southern California, produce midrange power and balance akin to high-quality Honduran mahogany. Its solid Sitka spruce top offers a warm, punchy midrange, crisp trebles and impressive low-end presence. The body, which sports a firestripe pickguard, is finished with a vintage-vibed Kona burst and our smooth Silent Satin sheen. Like other 50th Anniversary Collection guitars, this versatile cutaway Grand Auditorium features a commemorative label inside, ebony bridge pins with gold acrylic dots and premium Gotoh 510 antique gold tuners. It comes with ES2 electronics and ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
