314ce Studio Special Edition Blacktop

Studio models deliver the rich, articulate tone and nuanced detail of an all-solid-wood guitar at an exceptional value. Available exclusively at Guitar Center, this special-edition Grand Auditorium features a blacktop finish that introduces a bold new aesthetic to our Studio line. Sitka spruce’s crisp response and dynamic range blend with sapele’s mahogany‑like warmth, producing a focused, balanced tone with punchy mids and clean, clear trebles that hold up beautifully to aggressive playing. V-Class bracing dials up extra volume and longer sustain while ensuring that notes played up and down the neck are more consistent and in tune. Studio models incorporate features designed to enhance comfort, playability and aesthetic appeal, including chamfered body edges, a slim Taylor neck with a slightly narrower 1-11/16-inch nut width and a gloss-finish body with a smooth, lustrous sheen. Italian acrylic dot inlays, a black pickguard and nickel tuners keep the look understated yet sophisticated. ES2 electronics offer reliable amplified tone for plugged-in play and a structured gig bag with burgundy plush lining offers stylish portability and protection.
