The 50th Anniversary AD14ce-SB LTD embodies five decades of Taylor history. The Sitka spruce /walnut tonewood pairing traces back to Bob Taylor’s earliest guitars, many of which were crafted in the humble workshop that gave the American Dream Series its name. That combination yields a warm, woody midrange response with clear projection and articulation, enhanced with improved volume and sustain thanks to the V-Class bracing inside. Following the distilled, neo-vintage design ethos of its American Dream counterparts, this limited-edition model features chamfered body edges, clean Italian acrylic dot inlays, a firestripe pickguard and a thin matte finish with a hand-sprayed tobacco sunburst top treatment. This highly versatile Grand Auditorium includes a commemorative interior label and ES2 electronics. It ships with a lightweight, yet super-durable AeroCase.

Grand Auditorium
Our flagship shape offers comfort and cross-genre utility, with a clear, balanced tone suited for both fingerstyle and strumming.
Walnut
Walnut’s crisp highs are balanced by a deep, woody low end that emerges as the guitar is played in.
Torrefied Spruce
Treated with our special roasting process, torrefied spruce tops deliver all the clarity, balance and projection you’d expect from a traditional spruce top with an extra dash of warmth and played-in depth.
Expression System® 2
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
V-Class Bracing
Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
