Taylor 500 Series | 514ce – Used

The Taylor 514ce is a guitar that embodies the rich tones of mahogany. Mahogany is known for its distinctive character, offering a resonant midrange and a pronounced focus on the fundamentals of your sound. This guitar pairs mahogany with a cedar top, introducing an extra layer of warmth that complements its voice. The result is a harmonious blend that is perfect for fingerpickers and those who prefer light-to-medium strumming styles. The Grand Auditorium 514ce boasts versatility in its sound, combining warmth and compression to deliver a unique tonal profile.

Adding to its appeal, the neo-vintage appointments include an ivoroid rosette, ivoroid binding, and an exquisite Century fretboard inlay. The Expression System 2 takes your acoustic experience to the next level by capturing the guitar’s dynamic properties with its innovative behind-the-saddle design. This technology ensures that the nuances of your playing are faithfully reproduced.

Furthermore, the Venetian cutaway enhances playability with its soft, rounded lines, allowing easy access to higher frets. The guitar’s specifications include a Grand Auditorium shape, tropical mahogany back and sides, a scale length of 25-1/2 inches, a Western Red Cedar top, Tusq nut and saddle, a tropical mahogany neck and heel, and a forward-shifted pattern with relief rout bracing. The fretboard is crafted from ebony and features elegant Deco Diamonds inlays, while the headstock overlay is made of Indian Rosewood.

Completing the picture, this guitar includes a set of Taylor Gold tuners, an Indian Rosewood truss rod cover, glossy finishes on the back/sides and top, a satin finish on the neck, a tortoise pickguard, and it comes with a Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown case.
