Full Description
View Full DescriptionUrban Iron Bark and Sitka Spruce combination
Presenting a rounded tone profile, the 514ce is ideal for a variety of playing styles. Urban Iron Bark delivers a strong mid-range performance, with an extended low-end to imbue extra body into your chords and rhythm playing. Paired with a Sitka spruce top and Taylor's V-class bracing pattern, you're awarded with plenty of projection and top end clarity.
Ample volume and sustain…
Make yourself heard. In addition to a punchy and wide tonality, the 514ce offers an incredible amount of volume and sustain in every note. Sitka spruce is naturally suited to projecting sounds thanks to its strength and elasticity, and combined with Taylor's V-class bracing to focus and hone its vibrations, the 514ce will clearly stand above an ensemble. And that goes for a variety of playing styles, aggressive strumming or delicate fingerpicking, both are enhanced by the lively and articulate voice of the 514ce.
Expand your creativity
…On a simply superb neck and fretboard. Presenting a Neo-tropical mahogany neck in a standard carve profile and a satin finish, you'll find it almost too easy to play. It offers virtually no resistance to your fretting hand, making for quick transitions around the scales an effortless task. Its standard carve profile is luxuriously comfortable to grip, making longer playing sessions much gentler on the wrist.
On top of that rests a premium quality West African crelicam ebony fretboard. It's Taylor's speciality and a wood they source and shape so well - delightfully smooth and responsive, it's suited to any style. Together with the Venetian cutaway, you can explore the higher registers with impunity and truly unlock your creativity.
Outstanding hardware
It's Taylor, so you can expect nothing but the best. Adorning the headstock are Taylor nickel tuning machines designed to keep a firm hold of your strings. The result is a solid tuning stability that needs little attention. Working in tandem with a TUSQ nut, a Micarta saddle and an ebony bridge with ebony pins, your notes will ring out clear and true, with a vocal sustain and minimal irritating buzz.
Speaking of strings, the 514ce comes with an Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze set (0.12 - .053) that offers a crisp metallic tonality and an exceptionally soft feel. Their special string coating allow them to last through countless performances as they're very resistant to dirt, grime and muck build-up.
Get on the road to the studio or the stage
Hosting Taylor's remarkable Expression System 2 electronics, the 514ce can be plugged in without losing its brilliant natural character. Tastefully implemented with just three control knobs on the upper bout that doesn't detract from the beautiful appearance, the Expression System 2 enables you to shape your tone and reproduce the 514ce's voice when performing or recording.
And to get you to the venue or the studio, Taylor have included a Deluxe Hard Shell case to keep your prized instrument safe. Made to fit the 514ce exactly, you can carry your investment in total security. Not only that, but you'll be able to fit in all the necessary accessories too, so you're always equipped to perform.
