Reimagined maple acoustic-electric guitar sings with vintage soul.
The Taylor 614ce Florentine Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar provides an inspiring playing experience with its premium tonewood construction and innovative V-Class bracing. Designed for serious musicians seeking a versatile instrument, the 614ce delivers a bold yet balanced sound perfect for any style. Its torrefied Sitka spruce top and figured big leaf maple back and sides produce rich warmth and clarity. The hand-rubbed Brown Sugar stain highlights the maple's striking figure for a refined aesthetic.
V-Class Bracing Unlocks the Maple's Potential
Taylor's groundbreaking V-Class bracing opens up the 614ce's voice, enhancing its volume, sustain and tuning stability. You'll appreciate how evenly and accurately the notes ring out across the fingerboard. The bracing complements the maple back and sides and stylish Florentine cutaway, optimizing their transparent and complex tone. Strum softly and be rewarded with a shimmering high end. Dig in harder and be met with a gutsy midrange growl. The V-Class bracing helps the 614ce maple model reach its full sonic potential.
Premium Tonewoods for a Lifetime
Taylor selected premium, sustainable North American tonewoods to construct the 614ce for exceptional sound quality that lasts. The torrefied Sitka spruce top provides a rich, mature tone right out of the case. Its stiffness and stability also enhance the 614ce's resonance. The figured big leaf maple back and sides contribute a vivid look and balanced warmth with crisp articulation. Together with the mahogany neck, these woods produce a clear, punchy tone with smooth playability.
Cutting-Edge Electronics Capture Your Sound
Taylor's ES2 pickup system accurately conveys the 614ce's acoustic properties for a natural amplified tone. Its behind-the-saddle transducer features adjustable sensors so you can shape the EQ to your preferences. Powerful onboard bass, midrange and treble controls provide flexible tone shaping, while the phase switch helps eliminate feedback. You'll appreciate how well the ES2 reproduces the 614ce's voice for inspiring performances and recordings.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
The 614ce receives a high level of care and craftsmanship from Taylor's skilled luthiers in El Cajon, California. Precise construction and elegant appointments come together to create an instrument that plays and sounds as good as it looks. The 614ce's premium build quality and tone will make it a musical companion for life.
