The Taylor 114ce Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar brings Taylor's renowned playability and amplified innovation together in one instrument. This versatile grand auditorium guitar has a torrefied Sitka spruce top that enriches your tone with superb resonance and dynamics. The layered sapele back and sides offer stable, enhanced acoustic projection when plugged in. With its slim neck profile and cutaway body shape, the 114ce plays comfortably anywhere on the fingerboard.

Shape Richer, More Resonant Tones With a Torrefied Spruce Top

Torrefaction gives the solid Sitka spruce top of the 114ce a toastier hue that unlocks superior resonance and sustain. The torrefaction process changes the cellular structure of the wood, resulting in a top that's more responsive across the tonal spectrum. Notes ring out with improved clarity and projection. Chords shimmer with complexity. Whether fingerpicking or strumming, you'll hear and feel the acoustic depth and nuance the 114ce is capable of.

Amplify With Clarity and Balance Using the Taylor ES2 Pickup

Plug in the 114ce and Taylor's revolutionary ES2 pickup system accurately conveys your guitar's true acoustic voice. The three behind-the-saddle sensors capture the guitar's dynamic range through Taylor's "professional audio"-grade preamp. On stage or in the studio, you get exceptional amplified tone. The onboard bass, mid and treble controls help shape your ideal sound. The 114ce makes plugging in easy and rewarding.

Comfortably Access Higher Frets With a Slim Neck and Cutaway

The 114ce's Grand Auditorium body contours to your playing style with a slim neck profile for fretting ease. The cutaway grants you access to solo beyond the 14th fret while the 20-fret ebony fingerboard provides smooth playability. Whether you're a developing or experienced player, the 114ce invites creativity, comfort and versatility.

Achieve Playing Stability With Layered Sapele Back and Sides

The layered sapele back and sides offer exceptional stability under changing humidity and temperature levels. You'll always feel the 114ce resonate and project balanced tone whether on stage or in the studio. The layered wood construction also allows for a slimmer body depth for playing comfort.

    I play at church every Thursday night for practice and every Sunday Morning for service and this guitar is an awesome fit for me! It sounds like a Taylor (great), stays in tune, and the price is right! The smaller body and cutaway design gives it a great feel.

  • I would get this guitar for a beginner.

    1) D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light (.012 - .053). 2) We don't do that type of work at the distribution center.
