Taylor Next Generation 514ce

The Taylor Next Generation 514ce brings the renowned Grand Auditorium series to a new level. The complete Next-Gen package—Scalloped V-Class Bracing, the Action Control Neck™ and the Claria Electronics System—now arrives in the 500 Series, and the difference is instantly noticeable in both tone and playability.

The Scalloped V-Class Bracing adds extra depth in the low end and enhances open-string resonance, while preserving the clarity and pitch accuracy that V-Class bracing is known for. Combined with the touch-sensitive cedar top, you get an instrument that responds beautifully to delicate fingerstyle, yet also delivers surprising power when pushed. As a Grand Auditorium, this 514ce is versatile across genres—ideal for singer-songwriters, fingerstyle players and dynamic strummers.

Next-Gen craftsmanship and modern electronics

The Action Control Neck ensures the neck always feels exactly right, allowing quick and precise string-height adjustments without extensive setup work. The longer tenon joint increases sustain, warmth and resonance.

With the new Claria electronics, Taylor offers a remarkably natural amplified tone. The advanced undersaddle pickup and refined preamp reduce the harshness typical of traditional piezos. The soundhole controls—Volume, Tone and Mid-Contour—make it easy to shape your sound in any live environment. Visually, the gloss finish, white binding, black-and-white purfling, abalone rosette and nickel tuners provide an elegant and understated look.

Included accessories:
The guitar comes with a Taylor hardshell case, a truss-rod wrench, and documentation / Taylor-care information.

Optional accessories:
Enhance your setup with a maintenance kit, capo, extra string sets or a high-quality guitar stand. For live players, DI boxes, pedals, and acoustic amplifiers from our wide collection are excellent additions—we’re happy to help you choose the right options in the store.
