Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor’s 314ce-N brings nylon strings to a Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric format. The body responds to light fingerpicking and handles medium strumming or flatpicking with clear, balanced sound across the tonal range. Its solid Sitka spruce top provides crisp articulation and broad dynamic range, paired with solid ovangkol back and sides. A sleek-profile neck, 1-7/8-inch nut width, and 20-inch fingerboard radius create its crossover feel. ES-N electronics add onboard volume, treble, and bass controls, and a deluxe hardshell case is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Songwriting, recording, and performance where a nylon-string part adds a different rhythmic texture.

- Amplified nylon-string work needing onboard volume, treble, and bass control.
Consider the trade-offs
