Taylor Builder's Edition 314ce 50th Anniversary Kona Burst

The 50th Anniversary 314ce LTD elevates one of the world's best-selling U.S.-made acoustic guitars to new heights. Featuring a torrefied Sitka spruce top and solid sapele back and sides, this versatile Grand Auditorium produces a punchy midrange with a warm, woody low end to balance its sparkling trebles. Our V-Class bracing generates greater volume, sustain and harmony down the neck, while our special roasting process for the top adds a touch of aged-in depth and sweetness. We’ve enhanced the vintage character of the slightly darkened top with a subtle shaded edgeburst around the body and neck, while a firestripe faux-tortoiseshell pickguard adds a bold visual touch. Other aesthetic details include gold tuners and ebony bridge pins with gold acrylic dots. Like all 50th Anniversary Collection models, it features a celebratory limited-edition label, and production will be limited to 1,974 guitars worldwide. This model includes ES2 electronics and a hardshell case.
