2022 Taylor 514ce Urban Ironbark Torrefied Sitka Spruce Shaded Edgeburst w/ Case

Up for sale, a 2022 Taylor 514ce Urban Ironbark in mint condition, complete with the hardshell case and hangtags. Dealer sourced and never privately owned, this like-new Grand Auditorium model features a gloss Shaded Edgeburst finish and Taylor’s Expression System 2 electronics.

The torrefied spruce top has Taylor’s proprietary V-Class bracing, designed to accentuate the vibrancy of the spruce. Further premium tonewoods include solid urban ironbark back and sides, a tropical mahogany neck, and a West African Crelicam ebony fretboard. Taylor’s Grand Auditorium body shape offers excellent projection, featuring the lower bout width (15 ⅞”) and depth of a dreadnought with a more slender waist. Voiced for a variety of genres and playing styles, this V-Class braced model offers the shimmering trebles and sweet percussive cut historically associated with the Taylor brand.

Taylor's Expression System 2 is designed to faithfully reproduce the instrument’s natural tone. This system utilizes three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated sensors installed behind the saddle and through the bridge to capture top and string vibration. Created in partnership with audio pioneer Mr. Rupert Neve, Taylor's electronics are seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. This 514ce Urban Ironbark weighs 5lbs 1oz, dialed in beyond factory spec here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
