With an overall dry and focused sound yet hair trigger response and articulation thanks to the Cedar / Mahogany tonewood combo - the 514ce is the perfect choice not only for roots and blues players looking for a little bit of tonal contrast but for fingerstyle players and those with a light touch.
Even easier to kick into action thanks to V-Class bracing, ramping up levels of sustain and volume whilst ensuring a general cohesion and bloom in the way notes and chords unfurl from the instrument - the 514ce sports understated aesthetic appointments, with a faux tortoiseshell pickguard / binding and ‘Century’ fretboard inlay complimenting its general rustic charm.
Preloaded with the balanced and nuanced ES2 Expression System electronics and shipping in a deluxe hardcase, the 514ce features the classic low action and superbly well-balanced Taylor neck - that plays like a breeze and in tune all the way along the West African Ebony fretboard, with excellent intonation.
