714e (Western Sunburst)
A Western Sunburst top brings a warm golden-brown glow to this edition of the rosewood/spruce 714e, accentuating the roots-rich aesthetic of the redesigned 700 Series. The guitar features Taylor’s popular Grand Auditorium body style, renowned for its musical versatility, and sports a sonic upgrade to a Lutz spruce top with Performance bracing among other voicing enhancements. The result is bolder, more robust sound with a more prominent fundamental focus beneath rosewood’s natural bell-like overtone shimmer. The earthy-meets-elegant design details include Hawaiian koa binding, a herringbone-inspired rosette of Douglas fir with maple/black accents, bias-cut Douglas fir top trim, and a “weathered brown” pickguard design that suggests the patina of worn leather. The guitar comes equipped with Taylor’s stage-ready ES2 pickup and preamp for natural-sounding amplified tone.
