Taylor 514ce Legacy Grand Auditorium – 50th Anniversary Edition

Available at Irvine Art and Music

A Tribute to Taylor’s Legacy

Crafted in celebration of Taylor’s 50th anniversary, the 514ce Legacy Grand Auditorium embodies the spirit of Taylor's most iconic designs. This limited-edition acoustic-electric guitar revives fan-favorite features from decades past — from traditional X-bracing to the classic LR Baggs Element VTC electronics — offering a nostalgic, warm, and ultra-responsive playing experience.

Whether you’re a dedicated fingerstyle guitarist or a strummer looking for exceptional tonal clarity, the 514ce Legacy delivers with premium tonewoods and elegant craftsmanship.

Key Features:

• Western Red Cedar Top
  Offers a warm, touch-sensitive, and naturally compressed tone — ideal for fingerstyle playing and dynamic expression.

• Mahogany Back & Sides
  Known for its articulate midrange and dry, woody attack, mahogany brings clarity and richness to your performance.

• Traditional X-Bracing
  A nod to Taylor's earlier models, providing a fuller, more organic acoustic response compared to modern V-bracing.

• Grand Auditorium Body Shape
  Taylor’s versatile body design balances warmth, clarity, and projection — perfect for any style, from light picking to strong strumming.

• Venetian Cutaway
  Smooth access to upper frets, encouraging expressive soloing and melodic runs.

• LR Baggs Element VTC Electronics
  A premium under-saddle pickup system that captures your guitar’s true acoustic voice in any amplified setting.

• Premium Aesthetic Details
  Features faux-tortoiseshell-style binding, a stunning rosette, gold Taylor tuners, and elegant Small Diamonds inlays made from shell and mother-of-pearl.
