Taylor - 314ce Studio Natural + Housse

Behind its refined curves, the Taylor 314ce Studio hides a true sonic balance that everyone agrees on. Its combination of solid sapele and roasted spruce creates a tonal signature that is both clear and warm, with that little extra soul that is usually only found on models that have already had a few decades of good and loyal service. Whether you brush it with your fingertips or attack the strings with conviction, it always responds with precision and dynamics, without false modesty but without arrogance either.

If you have already had the frustrating experience of a capricious neck that resists your musical intentions, that of the 314ce Studio will reconcile you with your left hand. Its refined profile and the width at the nut of 44.50 mm allow for relaxed and fluid playing, whether you are laying down your first chords or effortlessly navigating to the highest frets. Add to that a discreet chamfer on the body, and you get a formidable comfort that makes you want to play again and again, to the point of forgetting that you sometimes have to put the guitar down to get some sleep.

But a guitar that sounds good at home must also shine when it passes through the mesh of a jack cable. Fortunately, the 314ce Studio includes the Expression System 2, a preamp as discreet as it is formidably effective.
Its sensor placed behind the bridge captures all the dynamics and naturalness of the sound, without falling into the excess of brilliance or the artificial coldness of certain amplified systems. You plug it in, you play, and your guitar gives you back exactly what you give it, with this transparency that makes all the difference.
