Taylor 614CE 2021

Crafted with a solid Big Leaf maple back and sides and a torrefied Sitka spruce top, the Taylor 614ce offers a refreshed take on what guitarists know as the maple sound.

This Grand Auditorium has been re-tuned by Andy Powers to generate greater warmth and openness, and features the acclaimed V-Class bracing, a revolutionary innovation in acoustic sound that responds with greater musicality and harmonic harmony. By introducing a more ordered vibration into the guitar's top, the V-Class enhances sustain and volume, offering players a more dynamic voice to explore, while also solving the minor intonation issues that have long plagued players.

The result is a guitar with a highly player-focused sound, one that reveals the unique stylistic and technical idiosyncrasies of each individual guitarist. A hand-rubbed Brown Sugar stain highlights the natural grain of the maple; other features include ebony binding, a paua/abalone rosette, and Wings fingerboard inlays. A Venetian cutaway invites playing the entire fingerboard, while the patented ES2 electronics deliver a faithful, plugged-in tone.

This Taylor was built in 2021 and has two small dings on the top, along with a small one on the pickguard. The guitar is otherwise exceptionally clean and comes with a TFOA passport and a hardshell case.
