Taylor Next Generation 314ce Acoustic Guitar. 2026 model.Left-Handed Sold one on order

A new era of Taylor tone dawns with the Taylor Next Generation lefty 314ce, refreshing the brand’s classic Grand Auditorium platform with innovative Claria electronics and a deeper, warmer tonal profile. This stage-ready acoustic-electric guitar retains all the classic elements of Taylor’s 314ce recipe, from the Sitka spruce top’s sweet and dynamic tone to the crisp and defined voice of its sapele back and sides. However, Taylor’s Scalloped V-Class bracing imparts this Grand Auditorium with a healthy dose of X-brace-inspired tonal charm in the form of a deeper low-end thump and a more responsive resonance — all while retaining the V-Class bracing’s signature balance and projection. As for acoustic-electric tones, Taylor’s Claria under-saddle pickup system provides plug-and-play performance with handy soundhole-mounted Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour controls. Finally, the 314ce’s ebony-capped mahogany Standard Carve neck comes equipped with Taylor’s trailblazing Action Control neck system that allows users to optimize the neck’s angle (and thus the action) while also boosting resonance. It all adds up to a true workhorse of a Grand Auditorium that pushes the art of the acoustic guitar forward while simultaneously incorporating the best bits of time-honored Taylor design.
