Taylor 614ce (2016)


 
The Taylor 614ce maple/spruce Grand Auditorium features an array of tone-enhancing refinements that transform mapleÕs tone profile into a richer, warmer and more complex voice. Design nuances include a maple-specific back bracing profile and a special seasoning process for the spruce top called torrefaction, a method of roasting the wood to produce an aged tonal character with greater acoustic resonance and responsiveness.

Other touches include the use of protein glues to optimize the tonal transfer between key wood components and an ultra-thin, 3.5-mil gloss finish to minimize dampening. A new, hand-rubbed ÒBrown SugarÓ stain on the back and sides gives mapleÕs striking figure a beautiful violin-hued appearance without adding extra thickness to the finish. Featured appointments include ivoroid Wings fretboard inlays, an inlaid ebony backstrap, ebony binding with ivoroid purfling, an ebony/ivoroid rosette, and a striped ebony pickguard, along with TaylorÕs Expression System¨ 2 acoustic electronics.
