With exceptionally warm and articulate tones, tropical mahogany has established itself among many as a favored tonewood. The cedar-topped Taylor 2012 514ce Mahogany/Cedar Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar sets itself apart amongst other tropical mahogany guitars with its cedar complement, popular body shape and excellent electronics. Plugged in, the 514ce will sing out the subtlety of your style loud and clear.

Western Red Cedar/Ironbark

The Taylor 514ce Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric is constructed of a red cedar top with Ironbark back and sides.

Grand Auditorium (GA)

The GA is Taylor’s most versatile and popular shape, excelling at light-touch fingerstyle as well as strumming. Great for mic’ing and recording, the GA’s balanced mid-range and bright tone exemplify the Taylor voice.

Expression System®

Using proprietary pickup technology developed at Taylor, the Expression System® amplifies your Taylor 514ce Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric with a natural live sound. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set them flat for an uncolored, exceptionally-clean amplified sound. It’s your tone, amplified.

Grand Auditorium

Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.

Urban Ironbark

This tonewood from Taylor's urban wood initiative yields power, fidelity and depth for a supremely balanced, muscular sound.

Sitka Spruce

The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.

Expression System® 2

The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

Venetian Cutaway

The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.

V-Class Bracing

Taylor's patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
