DISC Taylor 314 Grand Auditorium Left Handed Acoustic Guitar (2017)

Full Description

A Grand Auditorium Body

The Grand Auditorium is an original Taylor design that was introduced in 1994. It is one of Taylor’s most popular and versatile body shapes, producing an original acoustic voice that’s big enough to handle medium-strength picking and strumming. It features an impressive balance across the tonal spectrum, especially in the midrange, producing clear, well-defined notes suited to both strumming and fingerstyle playing. It is particularly an ideal choice for singer-songwriters who require a versatile instrument for composing and travelling.

Sitka Spruce and Sapele

The Taylor guitar features a beautiful sitka spruce top, offering a broad dynamic range and a crisp articulation. Sitka spruce is the most commonly used wood for guitar tops as it generates a broad dynamic range and accommodates numerous playing styles, from aggressive strumming to fingerpicking. This stunning tonewood is contrasted with sapele back and sides, which delivers a consistent and balanced tone with an excellent top-end shimmer. This stunning combination of tonewoods not only provides you with a beautiful guitar, but also offers a great combination of tones.

Unique Bracing Pattern

The performance bracing pattern features customised bracing profiles and placement for each body shape to optimise their inherent strengths. This bracing pattern uses side braces as well as the standard setup, adding rigidity and helping to maximise both top and back movement. The overall effect is an enhanced midrange, sustain, and tone that features plenty of warmth.

Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fingerboard

Tropical Mahogany is used for the Taylor guitar’s neck, delivering a soothingly warm and mellow tone with good presence in the lower mids. Taylor’s unique NT neck design provides players with a perfectly straight and stable guitar neck, enhancing its resistance to common problems such as changes in humidity. An ebony fingerboard provides the acoustic guitar with extra tightness and clarity, creating a fast attack for added definition.
