Discover the Taylor 614ce: A Symphony of Craftsmanship and Innovation

Welcome to Town Center Music, where we are proud to present the Taylor 614ce, a truly exceptional acoustic-electric guitar that redefines the sonic possibilities of maple. For players in the Atlanta area and beyond, this instrument represents the pinnacle of Taylor's commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability. The 614ce is more than just a guitar; it's an extension of your musical voice, a tool that will inspire you to create and perform at your best.

A Sonic Revolution: The Taylor 614ce Sound

The heart of the Taylor 614ce's sound lies in its unique combination of tonewoods and bracing. The top is made from torrefied Sitka spruce, a process that roasts the wood to produce a played-in, vintage tone with enhanced warmth and sweetness. This is paired with stunningly figured Big Leaf maple back and sides, which have been specially voiced by master builder Andy Powers to deliver a sound that is richer, warmer, and more complex than what you might expect from a maple guitar. Gone are the days of maple being just a "bright" tonewood; the 614ce offers a surprisingly deep and resonant voice that is incredibly responsive to your playing style.

At the core of the 614ce is Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing. This innovative bracing pattern transforms the way the guitar top vibrates, resulting in a dramatic increase in both volume and sustain. You'll notice that notes ring out longer and with greater clarity, and that chords are more in tune with each other up and down the neck. The V-Class bracing also enhances the guitar's dynamic range, allowing you to play with a delicate touch or dig in for powerful strumming, all while maintaining a balanced and articulate tone.

Unmatched Playability and Onboard Electronics

The 614ce features Taylor's signature Grand Auditorium body shape, a versatile design that is equally suited for strumming, flatpicking, and fingerstyle playing. The comfortable Venetian cutaway provides easy access to the upper frets, while the sleek, satin-finished hard rock maple neck feels smooth and fast in your hand. The West African Crelicam ebony fretboard is adorned with beautiful grained ivoroid "Wings" inlays, adding a touch of elegance to the instrument's aesthetic.

When it's time to plug in, the Taylor 614ce is equipped with the groundbreaking Expression System® 2 (ES2) electronics. This behind-the-saddle pickup design captures more of the guitar's natural dynamic properties, resulting in a faithful and nuanced amplified tone. Whether you're performing on stage, recording in the studio, or leading worship, the ES2 will ensure that your audience hears the true voice of your guitar.

Exquisite Details and Premium Appointments

The Taylor 614ce is a feast for the eyes as well as the ears. The hand-rubbed "Brown Sugar" stain on the back and sides beautifully highlights the natural figuring of the Big Leaf maple. The guitar is elegantly bound in West African Crelicam ebony, which also adorns the fretboard and peghead. The paua and abalone rosette adds a touch of iridescent shimmer, while the Taylor nickel tuners provide smooth and precise tuning. A deluxe hardshell case is included to protect your investment.
