The popular Grand Auditorium 314e is an acoustic workhorse that performs equally well in the practice room, recording studio, and on stage. This latest edition features the Taylor acclaimed V-Class bracing, a revolutionary innovation in acoustic sound that responds with greater musicality and harmonic agreement. By introducing a more orderly vibration to the guitar’s top, V-Class bolsters the sustain and volume to offer players a more dynamic voice to explore, while also resolving the minor intonation issues that players have long had to contend with. Together with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid sapele back and sides, you can expect a balanced and articulate blend of top-end brightness, midrange fullness, and low-end warmth that accommodates an array of playing styles. Appointments include black binding, Gemstone fretboard/peghead inlays in Italian acrylic, and satin-finish back and sides with a gloss top while the Taylor Guitars proprietary ES2 electronics serve up faithful plugged-in tone. The guitar ships in a deluxe hardshell case.
