Store finder
What’s the best tonewood for fingerstyle guitarists? Thanks to cedar’s quick response and midrange overtones, we regularly recommends cedar-topped acoustics for fingerstylists and other players with a light touch. As a back and side tonewood, mahogany generally serves up a focused sound with a full midrange. The Taylor 514ce combines a Western red cedar top with mahogany sides and back in a gorgeous guitar that delivers powerful all-around response with blooming sustain. In the 514ce, these desirable sonic attributes are lifted to new heights with Taylor’s revolutionary V-Class bracing, which boosts volume evenly across the tonal spectrum, increases sustain, and improves the natural intonation of the instrument by creating a more synergistic response from the soundboard. This fosters a more harmonious relationship between the notes you play, helping chords to ring out in cohesive splendor. Spec’d out with ES2 electronics and tasteful, understated appointments, the Taylor 514ce is a superb acoustic-electric guitar you’ll find hard to put down.
