Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The left-handed Next Generation 314ce pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with sapele back and sides in Taylor’s Grand Auditorium body. Sitka spruce supplies dynamic range and articulation, while sapele contributes focused mids and warm low-end presence. Scalloped V-Class bracing increases sustain and projection, and the Venetian cutaway reaches the upper frets. For amplified work, the Claria System uses soundhole-mounted controls, including Mid-Contour adjustment. The long-tenon Action Control neck also enables quick string-height changes without tools.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fingerpicking and flatpicked passages needing articulation, focused mids, and warm low-end presence.
- Live or studio work requiring onboard Claria System control of the amplified sound.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Right-handed players; this 314ce-LH-26 has a left-handed orientation.
