Taylor Next Gen 514ce Natural with Hardshell Case

The Taylor Next Gen 514ce A Refined Voice of Warmth Precision and Modern Playability

Premium Tonewoods for Warm Articulate Response

Western Red cedar and Mahogany deliver a tonal character that is both expressive and inviting. Cedar’s natural responsiveness brings out a warm rounded voice with exceptional sensitivity to a lighter touch, while mahogany back and sides provide a focused midrange that keeps every note defined. This combination offers a dynamic and musical response suited for fingerstyle players and strummers alike, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of playing styles.

V Class Bracing and Enhanced Acoustic Performance

Taylor’s scalloped V Class bracing elevates the instrument’s projection and sustain while enhancing harmonic consistency across the fretboard. Notes bloom with clarity and remain balanced whether played softly or driven harder. The result is an open and expressive voice with excellent note separation and a strong fundamental presence that translates beautifully in both solo and ensemble settings.

Next Gen Neck Design for Effortless Playability

The Action Control Neck introduces a modern level of adjustability and comfort, allowing for quick and precise string height changes without invasive setup work. Combined with a standard carve neck profile and satin finish, the playing experience is smooth and natural across the entire fretboard. This design encourages extended sessions with reduced fatigue and consistent performance from the first fret to the highest register.

Elegant Appointments and Modern Aesthetic

A full body gloss finish highlights the natural beauty of the tonewoods while refined visual details elevate the overall presentation. Meridian fretboard inlays in Italian acrylic add a clean modern touch, complemented by a green abalone rosette and faux tortoiseshell pickguard. The ebony fretboard and peghead veneer provide a sleek contrast while maintaining a classic acoustic aesthetic.

Equipped with the Claria acoustic pickup system, the 514ce is ready for live performance with reliable and natural amplified tone.
