Product Description:

Experience the perfect blend of playability, tone, and features with the Taylor 114ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar. Its solid torrefied spruce top generates a clear, balanced midrange voice with excellent projection, ideal for both practice and performance. The special roasting process adds warmth and sweetness, emulating the sound of a well-played guitar. Taylor's innovative bracing design enhances the guitar's response, providing louder volume, longer sustain, and greater low-end presence. The slender neck profile ensures comfortable fretting for any playing style, making the 114ce a versatile choice for any musician.

The 114ce is designed with a comfortable Grand Auditorium body style, offering the width and depth of a dreadnought with a narrower waist for a sleek look and remarkable high-end response. This body style is perfect for live performances, from fingerpicking to strumming, making the 114ce a great choice for nearly every playing style.

Unique Tonewoods:

The Taylor 114ce features a combination of tonewoods that deliver detailed tone, strong projection, and durability. The sapele back and sides provide rigid construction, ensuring stability under fluctuating climate conditions and rough handling. The maple and ebony neck ensures a ringing midrange with plenty of top-end detail. The torrefied solid Sitka spruce top enhances resonant response while reducing weight and giving the woodgrain a vivid look.

Expression System 2 Electronics:

Taylor's Expression System 2 uses a proprietary pickup behind the saddle with three individually calibrated piezo-electric sensors. This system responds organically to the instrument's acoustic energy, delivering a natural sound with incredible dynamic range and responsiveness. The custom-designed preamp ensures an authentic acoustic tone when plugged in, making the 114ce perfect for both unplugged and amplified performances.
