Taylor
Description

The Taylor 114ce Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar is an innovative instrument provides an exceptional playing experience for developing and experienced guitarists alike. With a solid Sitka spruce top and layered walnut back and sides, the 114ce produces a balanced, versatile tone that excels for any style. Its Grand Auditorium body shape is comfortable and lightweight, while the maple neck and ebony fretboard enable fluid playability.

ES2 Electronics Translate Acoustic Nuance

Taylor's ES2 electronics pickup every subtle nuance of the 114ce's acoustic tone and convey it faithfully when amplified. Three under-saddle piezo pickups are individually calibrated and positioned to respond organically to the guitar's natural acoustic energy. Paired with Taylor's custom preamp, the ES2 system produces a dynamic range of tone for performing on stage or recording in the studio.

High-Quality Components Built to Last

Taylor uses only premium, durable parts to construct the 114ce. A TUSQ nut and micarta saddle provide accurate intonation and buzz-free play. Die-cast chrome tuners hold pitch well even under fluctuating conditions. The 114ce's solid wood top is reinforced with updated bracing that allows it to vibrate freely, enhancing the guitar's acoustic sound. These high-quality components give the 114ce a lifetime of reliable performance.

A Guitar for All Occasions

With its versatile tone, comfortable feel and state-of-the-art electronics, the 114ce Grand Auditorium is an all-purpose acoustic-electric guitar. Its acoustic voice excels for fingerpicking, strumming and flatpicking, producing a balanced sound with clear highs, focused mids and tight lows. Plug in the 114ce and its ES2 system provides a dynamic range of tone for any amplified playing situation. For developing guitarists and experienced players alike, the 114ce is a do-it-all instrument that will inspire for years to come.

    Acoustics at this price sure have come a long way. The 114 punches WAY above its weight; effortless to play, booming tone, reliable for gigging, and looks great with the matte SB finish. A quality instrument at a great price that doesn't break the bank, I can't recommend it higher.

  • Fantastic guitar and even though its not american made it so

    First off ingor a wild hair a couple weeks back after getting my custom ibanez hit with the platinum set up. Thanks james brown of guitar center Fayetteville Ga. I had originally purchased a mexican made koa and the very next day after not even opening the bag since i left the store. Kept in bag at 70 degrees. The front came apart at the bottom. I take it back and get the mexican rosewood gpc same as the koa just not koa. Action was so high on the rosewood one that it wouldn't begin to stay in tune. Took a friends advice and drove a little further so i could play it so I wouldn't have to return one again. Got to the macon ga store and was very surprised at their selections for a smaller guitar center. After playing several guitars before i even told the guys i had a order pickup just to be sure cause im a prs guy. I am so glad i chose this model. It sounded better than some of the american made martins and taylors. Worth every penny cause right out of the box that i got to open and take the plastic off the guitar which was so cool, it was set up fNrastic and in tune. It was made in 2019 and has been sitting and bouncing around a couple different places. Im glad i could give her a home. Bottom line inwould recommend this guitar to anyone. Avoid the HPL martins. They sound greeat but are not very sturdy. Treat yourself right and get youna taylor ornatleast go hot your closest guitarcenter and take one for a spin. You will be blown away at this guitars sounds and tones and can reach especially if you are a erican made and nothing else guy like myself

  • Buy it!!!

    This Taylor does not disappoint. I have had this guitar for a year now. I have recently returned a very high end Breedlove and Martin because the cost of those did not come close to justifying keeping them when this Taylor is sooooo much cheaper and so close to the sound of a solid wood guitar. The action is so perfect for me and I cant beat the hell out of it and will never have to worry about all the problems that come with solid body guitars. When I bought this guitar, I originally was going to get a 324ce. Once again, to me they were so close it wasnt worth an extra 1300. Try one, you wont regret it.

  • I love this instrument! Sounds fantastic and easy to play
