Presenting the new Taylor American Dream AD14CE-SB Limited Edition Walnut Grand Auditorium with Sunburst Top, part of Taylor's 50th Anniversary series.
Throughout 2024, the team at Taylor are releasing a curated collection of limited-edition guitars celebrating the diversity of their line. Some guitars in the collection draw inspiration from player-favorite models over the decades. Others showcase fine tonewoods, exquisite appointments and exacting craftsmanship, like their premium Presentation Series. An homage to their founding year, production will be limited to no more than 1,974 guitars worldwide for each model.
From Taylor about the AD14CE-SB Limited: "We simply had to include an American Dream guitar, as the series takes its name from the music shop where co-founders Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug first met. The AD14ce-SB LTD follows the distilled design ethos of the series, combining workhorse versatility with earthy, neo-vintage aesthetic appeal."
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.
