Taylor 614ce Limited-Edition Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Aquamarine

The Taylor 614ce Aquamarine Limited Edition starts with the foundation of Taylor's 600 series of acoustic and acoustic-electric guitars—solid maple back and sides paired with select spruce tops, a tonewood combination, as revoiced by Taylor's Andy Powers, that is extraordinary at reflecting and reproducing each player's individual touch on the instrument. This outstanding limited-edition instrument then pushes beyond the traditional boundaries to discover a new world of beauty and tone.

A Body Style Originated by Taylor

First introduced in 1994 by Bob Taylor, the Grand Auditorium body style quickly became Taylor's most popular body style. The Grand Auditorium strikes a balance between the flatpicking-favorite dreadnought and fingerstyle-favored Grand Concert body styles. With a clear, articulate voice that maintains plenty of body, and that responds beautifully across the instrument's entire dynamic range, this special instrument is brought to a new level by Taylor's V-Class bracing and the carefully selected tonewoods found in the 614ce Aquamarine Limited Edition.

Using Technology to Build on Tradition

Taylor's groundbreaking V-Class bracing revolutionizes acoustic guitar design, offering a transformative leap beyond traditional X-bracing. This innovative system acts as a sonic engine, enhancing acoustic performance in three crucial aspects: amplifying volume, prolonging sustain and significantly rectifying intonation issues that have plagued acoustic guitars for years. V-Class bracing produces clearer, more harmonious notes, eliminating cancelations and off-key tones. It ensures a uniform, precise response across the fretboard, resulting in a more musically immersive experience. Additionally, guitars equipped with V-Class bracing facilitate easier tuning, providing a purer, more stable pitch. This technology also delivers benefits such as more even harmonics along the neck, amplified projection and sustain, and consistent notes, especially in the upper register. Chords sound more in tune with themselves, fostering a delightful interplay as notes mature, bloom and fade.
