This 314ce LH is a real workhorse – incredibly versatile for fingerstyle, strumming, and even light gigging.

It's a fantastic choice for the serious left-handed acoustic player looking for a balanced tone and reliable electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions

V-Class bracing significantly increases volume and sustain while adding a richer, more complex harmonic content compared to the older forward-shifted bracing – it’s a noticeable upgrade.
The neck profile is Taylor's comfortable 'Taylor Comfort Neck', which is generally well-suited for a variety of hand sizes, though those preferring a very chunky neck might find it slightly thinner.
The ES2 is renowned for its natural acoustic reproduction, utilizing a piezo sensor and mic blend to minimize the 'quacky' sound often associated with piezo pickups – it’s a top performer in its class.
