Taylor 314ce Studio electro acoustic guitar SEB shaded edgeburst +case
Chris (MD. Guitar Mania) says:
“Another guaranteed winner from Taylor, this ‘Studio’ has a Torrefied Spruce top with a shaded edgeburst finish which makes it visually very different to the standard 314ce. All the usual loveliness from Taylor that you’d expect – a great action, beautiful tone and amazing build quality. Class leaders. NO other brand competes. Just our opinion but EVERY member of staff here at Guitar Mania loves / owns or wants a Taylor guitar. There really is nothing to compare.
Playability:
Here at Guitar Mania we take great pride in our Taylor guitars. Every one gets check and set up as required so they have a great action as well as sounding great. They are all stored in a humidity controlled room so that they stay that way too. Jon, our in-house Taylor Guru is in charge of the set ups and general well being of these lovely guitars. He is a Master Level factory trained technician so rest assured you’re in good hands. We have a thriving Taylor Service Centre that he takes care of and our after sales service is second to none.
If you have tried to save money and bought from somewhere online and found your action is high, it’s most likely because it’s been stored in a damp draughty warehouse or cellar and especially applicable to this country, been exposed to excess humidity. This causes the body to swell up and becomes apparent by a high string height (action). You won’t get that here.
All Taylor guitars are stored in a humidity controlled environment.
They are all set up and checked over when they arrive and again before dispatch.
Buy in confidence !”
More info (from Taylor):
Crafted with all-solid tonewoods, tone-enhancing interior bracing and a striking sunburst finish, the Taylor 314ce Studio makes pro-quality sound more accessible than ever. This versatile, comfortable Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric boasts back and sides of solid sapele, a mahogany-like tonewood with a warm, punchy midrange voice. A solid top of torrefied Sitka spruce yields bold projection and a warm, aged-in quality thanks to our special roasting recipe, while our V-Class bracing adds more volume, longer sustain and clearer harmony between notes all the way up the neck. A narrower nut width of 1-11/16 inches and our slender neck profile makes for buttery-smooth fretting at any skill level, and the onboard ES2 electronics make it easy to plug in and play with clear amplified tone. This model is finished with an attractive shaded edgeburst top treatment and an all-gloss body, and includes a structured gig bag for convenient storage and portability.
