Taylor 50th Anniversary AD14ce LTD Acoustic-electric Guitar
With 50 years of guitar manufacturing settled and accounted for, Taylor has reached a major milestone! To celebrate, we proudly present the Taylor 50th Anniversary AD14ce LTD Acoustic-electric Guitar. This impeccable grand auditorium masterpiece comes with American Dream solid tonewood selections. Plus special appointments for a deluxe anniversary look. The 50th Anniversary AD14ce LTD pairs a reliable solid spruce top with solid walnut back and sides, a mahogany neck, and ES2 electronics.
Walnut back and sides are the real highlight, as this tonewood fuels a hearty, wonderfully transparent sound.. Once you put the AD14ce LTD to work, the tonewoods and strings spring to life with bright, dynamic power and the measured shimmer that’s made Taylor’s Grand Auditoriums such an acoustic institution for decades. Taylor is building only 1,974 of this anniversary specimen.
Premium tonewoods in the spotlight
The AD14ce LTD is packed with high-quality tonewoods carefully sourced and then assembled in the USA. A solid spruce top provides foundational presence and dynamic power while walnut back and sides infuse strums and plucks with a focused midrange that’s assertive but never intrusive. Together, these tonewoods support a sound that’s perfect for layering live or in the studio. What’s more, solid tonewoods are put to work elsewhere, including the fingerboard, bridge, and headstock overlay, which are built from smoked eucalyptus.
Grand Auditorium body style
Taylor’s beloved Grand Auditorium body style, featured on the AD14ce LTD, employs the width and depth of the dreadnought. But its narrower waist gives Grand Auditorium-bodied acoustic guitars a sleeker look with remarkable high-end response — helping to sharpen the definition of each note. And the comfort of this body style is a huge reason the AD14ce LTD is a popular instrument for live performance. From fingerpicking to strumming, the AD14ce LTD is an excellent choice for nearly every playing style.
American Dream: guitars worth chasing
Taylor’s commitment to gigging musicians is nowhere more apparent than the American Dream series. Each American Dream acoustic guitar features gig-worthy solid-wood construction that yields rich, complex resonance fit for a pro. Available in a variety of body styles, American Dream guitars are built in Taylor’s flagship California facility for quality you can trust. Other noteworthy touches include smooth body edges for comfort onstage and a premium paper-thin .002-inch finish that optimizes acoustic resonance with the added feel of a light, true-wood acoustic guitar.
Taylor’s Expression System 2
Taylor’s Expression System 2 uses a proprietary pickup behind the saddle. The pickup’s three individually calibrated, precisely positioned piezo-electric sensors respond organically to the instrument’s acoustic energy as it’s transferred through the saddle. In concert with Taylor’s custom-designed preamp, the result is a natural acoustic sound with incredible dynamic range and responsiveness. Guitar gurus are mightily impressed with Taylor’s Expression System 2.
