Playing the Taylor Builder's Edition 514ce Natural is like slipping your hands into silk gloves. With its elegantly chamfered contours, Venetian cutaway, and ebony Curve Wing bridge, this guitar was designed to embrace every movement of your playing.
It's so comfortable you could almost forget this is an instrument at the forefront of sonic innovation. And yet, the V-Class bracing works quietly behind the scenes to deliver a balanced, powerful sound and impeccable accuracy on every note.

But don't be fooled by its outward beauty alone, because the Taylor Builder's Edition 514ce has more than one trick up its sleeve, its three-ring green abalone rosette. With its Urban Ash back and sides, it delivers a warm, woody tone, enhanced by a Sitka spruce top that adds clarity and resonance. This perfect alchemy creates a vibrant sound, capable of responding to the slightest nuance of your touch.

The glossy finish of this Taylor 514ce isn't just about looks. Unlike the usual satin finishes of the Builder's Edition series, this bold choice reflects light like a mirror and gives the instrument a magnetic sheen.

And with its antique chrome Gotoh 510 tuners, you can be sure your guitar will stay impeccably tuned, even after hours of passionate riffing.

Do you like to have control over your sound? The 514ce delivers with the Expression System 2 preamp, which captures the guitar's acoustic soul while letting you easily adjust volume and tone.

And if practicality is as important as playing pleasure, you'll appreciate Taylor's attention to detail. In addition to the included deluxe case, you'll benefit from an extended warranty when you register your guitar on the Taylor website. Ten more years of peace and quiet is not something you can refuse, especially when you have found a guitar as exceptional as the Builder’s Edition 514ce!
