{"title":"Taylor 300 Series","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 300 Series is where V-Class bracing enters Taylor's catalog. Below it, the 100 and 200 Series run Taylor's C-Class bracing, a different internal pattern built for value-tier laminate and solid-top builds. At 300, Taylor switches to V-Class, the patented two-beam bracing that lets a top move more freely across its whole surface, translating into longer sustain, more volume without added string tension, and true intonation even when a chord is fretted hard up the neck. That single change is the real dividing line in Taylor's lineup, not price or fit and finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree models carry that V-Class platform across two different generations right now, sold side by side. The 314ce Studio ($1,999) runs an earlier-spec V-Class bracing paired with Expression System 2 electronics, the value entry point into the series. The 314ce Next Generation ($2,499) moves to Scalloped V-Class with a Relief Rout and Taylor's newer Claria electronics, a genuinely different build rather than an upgraded Studio. The 324ce Next Generation ($2,699) shares that same Next Generation platform but swaps the 314ce's spruce top for an all-mahogany body, trading brightness for a darker, more compressed voice.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/3348\/4349\/collections\/Taylor-314ce-1208275085-_282026_20Spec_29-FrontLeft-2025_png.webp?v=1784733663","url":"https:\/\/theacousticshoppe.com\/collections\/taylor-300-series.oembed","provider":"The Acoustic Shoppe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
