The Taylor 714ce combines classic Taylor craftsmanship with a fresh sonic character, pairing solid Western Red Cedar with Hawaiian Koa for a rich, articulate tone and a striking visual presence. Designed in the versatile Grand Auditorium body shape, this 714ce delivers exceptional balance and dynamic range, making it a perfect companion for both fingerstyle players and flatpickers alike.

The Cedar top provides a warm, responsive voice with a smooth midrange and airy overtones, while the Hawaiian Koa back and sides add shimmering highs and a focused low end that matures beautifully with time. Inside, V-Class bracing with a relief rout enhances sustain, volume, and harmonic clarity for a truly refined acoustic response.

Playability is effortless thanks to the neo-tropical mahogany neck, West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard, and Standard Carve profile. Elegant touches like Pale Green Abalone Reflections inlays, a tortoise pickguard, and a gloss finish showcase Taylor’s unmatched attention to detail. Equipped with a Taylor Prototype pickup with soundhole controls, the 714ce delivers its nuanced acoustic tone with studio-quality precision whether on stage or in the studio.
