Revolutionary V-Class Bracing Engineered for Optimal Tone At the heart of the Taylor Builder's Edition 614ce is the groundbreaking V-Class bracing, representing an evolution beyond traditional X-bracing. The V-Class bracing functions like a tonal engine, optimizing your guitar's response in three key areas: boosting volume, increasing sustain and resolving intonation issues. Notes ring out with more clarity and consistency across the entire fingerboard. Chords sound fuller, with fewer sour overtones. Harmonics are more uniform up and down the neck. Tuning stability is also improved. This musical breakthrough gives you an all-around better playing and listening experience. Sitka Spruce and Figured Maple Offer a Warm, Nuanced Tone This Builder's Edition guitar pairs a torrefied Sitka spruce top with stunning flamed maple back and sides. The spruce offers crisp articulation with a broad dynamic range. The maple provides warmth and complexity, with clear, focused highs and extended lows. Together, they yield a gorgeously balanced tone with musical versatility. The maple's clear voice also allows your playing nuances to shine through. Strum lightly and you'll be rewarded with a delicate shimmer. Dig in more assertively and the notes bloom with body and power. Play Comfortably With a Contour Cutaway and Beveled Armrest Several ergonomic features make this guitar a joy to play. The cutaway is specially contoured to provide unfettered access to the highest frets. The armrest is thoughtfully beveled and rounded for hours of playing comfort. The smooth satin finish eliminates noise from your arm, clothing or strap rubbing against the body. The neck has a slim taper for easy chord changes and solos. Whether you're performing on stage or practicing at home, you'll appreciate how the 614ce accommodates your playing style.
