50th 314ce LTD
Introduced in 1994, the Grand Auditorium was immediately one of Taylor's most popular guitars. The size is right in between a Grand Concert and dreadnought, making this guitar very versatile. For its 50th anniversary, this classic Taylor model gets a few premium upgrades. Gemstone design inlays, a tobacco shaded edgeburst, a firestripe faux tortoise pickguard and a torrefied spruce top that adds an extra dash of responsiveness and warmth to its musical personality.
50th BE 814ce LTD
The much-loved Builders Edition 814ce also gets some premium upgrades this year. This limited-edition model features a sinker redwood top combined with Indian rosewood back and sides, complemented by a range of comfortable playing features: a 'beveled' armrest, cutaway, body contours and a Curve Wing bridge.
50th AD14ce-SB LTD
Of course, no American Dream guitar should be missing from this 50th Anniversary line. After all, it is the name of the music shop where co-founders Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug met. The AD14ce-SB LTD follows the same premium design of the series, combining versatility as a workhorse with an earthy, neo-vintage aesthetic appeal.
The walnut/spruce combination provides a warm, seasoned tone. And the beveled edges for an ultra-comfortable feel.
50th Taylor 217e-SB Plus LTD
The 217E-SB Plus 50e brings the neo-vintage sound of Taylor's Grand Pacific body shape to the 200 Series. Made with back and sides of Indian rosewood and a sitka spruce top, this acoustic round-shoulder dreadnought serves up powerful sound with a warm, seasoned character, with plenty of volume, sustain and low-end power thanks to the C-Class bracing inside. This guitar is equipped with a built-in ES-2 pickup.
50th GS Mini-e Rosewood SB LTD
The GS Mini was born in 2010 from the innovative mind of Bob Taylor. Since then, it has become perhaps Taylor's most popular guitar. For their 50th anniversary, Taylor has given this best-seller some elegant upgrades. A torrefied, vintage-sunburst top, firestripe pickguard, ES2 pickup and handsome anniversary finishes give this GS Mini a premium look and sound.
The GS Mini-e Rosewood SB LTD is an inviting and versatile guitar for musicians looking for a compact but sonically powerful instrument.
