Taylor 50th Anniversary 614ce LTD w/ case

 Limited to a mere 614 units, the 614ce LTD 50th-anniversary acoustic-electric celebrates 50 years of Taylor guitars with a triumphant maple-based tonewood concoction. It all starts with a resonant, dynamic Sitka spruce top, supported by Taylor’s intonation- and sustain-enhancing V-Class bracing. However, like all of Taylor’s 600 series instruments, the true star of the show here is this 614ce’s bigleaf maple back and sides, providing you with superb string-to-string balance and crisp, clarity-packed articulation that cuts through the foundation of any mix. The neck’s comfortable Taylor Standard Carve boasts a maple construction for added stability and is topped off with an elegant 15-inch-radius ebony fingerboard studded with eye-catching “wings” inlays. Finished with Taylor’s stage-ready ES2 electronics system, the 614ce LTD 50th anniversary pays perfect tribute to Taylor’s half-century legacy, exemplifying the brand’s steadfast dedication to stage-ready workhorse performance, sonic excellence, and collector-grade craftsmanship.What sets Taylor’s 600 series apart from the pack? In a word: maple. Each 600 series Taylor instrument boasts stunning bigleaf maple back and sides, offering a stark sonic contrast to your typical Taylor instrument. Maple is one of the music world’s most time-tested tonewoods, revered among strummers and fingerpickers alike for its impeccable clarity and crisp attack. It's a perfect tonal complement to the 614ce LTD 50th anniversary’s Grand Auditorium body, sharpening up the shape's natural versatility with a beautifully balanced string-to-string response. The 614ce LTD 50th anniversary responds gracefully to a wide range of playing styles, thanks to its medium-sized Grand Auditorium body. Taylor's beloved Grand Auditorium body style employs the width and depth of the dreadnought. However, its waist is narrower, which gives Grand Auditorium guitars a sleeker look and more treble zing. The Grand Auditorium body style also helps to focus and sharpen the definition of each note — a quality desirable in any musical genre. You'll also find your Grand Auditorium guitar to be incredibly comfortable, whether playing seated or standing.  Amplified players are going to love the Taylor Expression System 2 electronics built into the 614ce LTD 50th anniversary. The ES2 system features a revolutionary segmented pickup located behind the bridge saddle; this pickup position delivers remarkably accurate and clear sound production that’s authentic to your playing. Each ES2 system features a handy master volume knob for fast level adjustments, in addition to a 2-band EQ for independent treble/bass adjustments to get the sound you need. Plus, the ES2 system also has a built-in phase switch, which offers essential feedback suppression whenever the system is active.
