Celebrate 50 years of Taylor innovation with this limited-edition 614ce.

The Taylor 614ce Limited-Edition 50th Anniversary Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar offers a stunning celebration of five decades of Taylor's craftsmanship and innovation. Pairing a figured maple back and sides with a Sitka spruce top, this guitar produces a complex tone with shimmering highs, a focused midrange and a robust low end. The Grand Auditorium body shape and V-Class bracing provide a versatile voice that handles both delicate fingerpicking and energetic strumming with equal ease.

Figured Maple Back and Sides Generate a Multi-Dimensional Tone

The figured maple back and sides are specially voiced to produce greater warmth and richness while still retaining maple's characteristic clarity and note separation. The result is a tone with enhanced depth and dimension that provides the tonal versatility of other premium tonewoods. When playing, you'll appreciate how the maple readily conveys the nuances of your technique and articulation.

Sitka Spruce Top Offers a Wide Dynamic Range

The Sitka spruce top provides a broad dynamic range, with crisp articulation and shimmering highs. Spruce is a premier tonewood chosen for its ability to translate string vibration into a balanced acoustic voice. On this guitar, the spruce top is paired with V-Class bracing to produce a tone with generous volume, sustain and projection suited for any playing style.

Onboard Electronics Provide a Natural Plugged-in Sound

The ES2 pickup system accurately captures the 614ce's acoustic properties and nuanced tones. Featuring three uniquely positioned pickup sensors, the ES2 enables a wider range of acoustic sounds to be reproduced than traditional undersaddle pickups. Paired with Taylor's custom-designed preamp, the ES2 produces an exceptionally natural amplified tone whether on stage or recording. Volume, bass and treble controls allow you to shape your tone to suit any musical situation.

V-Class Bracing Revolutionizes the Acoustic Sound

Taylor's innovative V-Class bracing opens up the 614ce's voice, increasing volume, sustain and harmonic complexity. Whether fingerpicking, strumming chords or flatpicking leads, the V-Class bracing responds with power and nuance. Notes bloom and decay naturally, conveying the texture of your playing in full detail. For the 614ce's special anniversary edition, Taylor optimized the bracing to take advantage of the maple and spruce tonewood pairing, resulting in an instrument with unparalleled acoustic performance.

Premium Appointments Honor Five Decades of Excellence

As a celebration of Taylor's 50th anniversary, the 614ce includes premium appointments like tortoiseshell binding, a colorful wood rosette and Wings inlays. It comes in a custom trans purple finish with white edgeburst. Whether playing acoustically or amplified, this guitar provides an inspiring experience of Taylor's history of innovation, masterful craftsmanship and a vision to build the best-sounding, easiest-playing guitars. The Taylor 614ce Limited-Edition 50th Anniversary Grand Auditorium is a compelling choice for any musician desiring an instrument of distinction.
