Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Tobacco Shaded Edge Burst, the USA-made 314ce Studio pairs Taylor’s Grand Auditorium design with a torrefied Sitka spruce top and sapele back and sides. Its V-Class bracing is described as supporting volume, sustain, clarity, and intonation across the fretboard. For amplified work, Taylor Expression System 2 electronics put volume, bass, treble, and phase controls on the instrument. The guitar is right-handed with six strings, a gloss body, Venetian cutaway, satin neo-tropical mahogany neck, and a Taylor tan structured gig bag.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live amplified sets and recordings requiring adjustment from the guitar’s onboard controls.
- Players alternating between fingerstyle playing and strummed parts on a Grand Auditorium body.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; the specified orientation is right handed.
- Players seeking an instrument with more than six strings.
