Taylor Next-Gen Builder’s Edition 314ce LTD - Walnut / Sitka

For players who love the balance and projection of a spruce-topped guitar, this limited-edition Grand Auditorium offers a fresh tonal perspective through its walnut back and sides.

Spruce delivers familiar clarity and headroom, while walnut adds warmth, fundamental focus and midrange heft. With the enhanced volume, sustain and resonance generated by the scalloped V-Class bracing—not to mention the suite of comfort-elevating contours of the Builder’s Edition design—those players can expect a guitar that performs beautifully across virtually any playing style or musical genre, one that’s equally inspiring for flatpickers, strummers and fingerstyle players alike.

A Kona Burst for the back, sides and neck headlines the appointment package here, with a satin body, Sentinel inlays and a faux-pearl rosette rounding out the visual presentation.
