Description
The Taylor 114ce Sunset Blvd Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar offers a compelling mix of exceptional tone, stunning aesthetics and renowned Taylor playability. Part of Guitar Center's exclusive Sunset Blvd Collection, this model is inspired by the legacy of the Hollywood music scene and the iconic flagship store on Sunset Boulevard. Featuring a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top, layered sapele back and sides, and Taylor's innovative C-Class bracing, the 114ce delivers enhanced sustain, dynamic range and tonal clarity. A golden-brown Sunset Edgeburst finish, paired with Italian acrylic diamond inlays and gold hardware, completes the look of this standout instrument. Whether you're writing, recording or performing, the 114ce blends functionality and style with ease.
Grand Auditorium Shape for Balanced Tone and Comfort
The Grand Auditorium body shape on this guitar offers a perfect balance of tonal depth and ergonomic comfort. Slightly larger than a concert-sized guitar, it produces a robust voice with a clear, balanced sound across the tonal spectrum. Its Venetian cutaway allows effortless access to the upper frets, making it ideal for exploring complex chord voicings or intricate solos. Designed for light fingerpicking and medium strumming alike, this guitar reacts dynamically to every nuance of your playing. Whether sitting or standing, its contours provide a natural playing position, ensuring long sessions remain comfortable.
Torrefied Sitka Spruce Top with Layered Sapele Back and Sides
The solid torrefied Sitka spruce top on this model enhances both resonance and responsiveness, delivering a vibrant acoustic tone with plenty of projection. The torrefaction process improves the wood's stability and gives it a played-in quality, adding warmth and depth to the sound. Layered sapele back and sides offer durability and consistent performance, providing a stable foundation for the top's dynamic response. Together, these tonewoods create an instrument with impressive tonal balance and clarity, perfect for live performances or studio recording.
Expression System 2 Electronics for Clear Amplified Sound
The Taylor 114ce Sunset Blvd is equipped with the Expression System 2, a professional-grade pickup and preamp system that faithfully reproduces the guitar's natural sound when amplified. The behind-the-saddle transducer design captures the top's vibrations more accurately, delivering a warm and detailed tone. Onboard controls for volume, bass and treble provide easy sound shaping, while the phase switch helps manage feedback in live settings. Whether you're connecting to a PA system or an acoustic amp, this system ensures consistent, high-quality sound.
Elegant Design and Durable Construction
This guitar combines high-end details with reliable craftsmanship. The Sunset Edgeburst finish enhances the natural grain of the torrefied spruce top, while Italian acrylic diamond inlays and gold Taylor tuners add a touch of sophistication. The genuine West African ebony fingerboard and bridge not only look stunning but also provide a smooth, responsive playing surface. Designed with longevity in mind, the 114ce includes a Micarta saddle and NuBone nut for improved tuning stability and durability. It ships with a Taylor structured gig bag for secure transport and protection.
A Stage-Ready Guitar Center Exclusive With Iconic Hollywood Style
The Taylor 114ce Sunset Blvd acoustic-electric guitar is an ideal choice for players seeking a reliable, high-quality instrument with a unique aesthetic.

I purchased a Taylor 114ce sight unseen. It is less than I hoped. The finish is ok. The pickup is ok. The feel of the neck is kind of ok. It's just not what I would have expected from a name like Taylor.
Looks beautiful, plays beautifully, sounds beautiful...

I picked up the Taylor 114ce Sunset last night, tuned it up right when I got home, and didn't put it down for three hours. I am completely blown away by the quality of this instrument. Here is what makes it stand out: Exceptional Comfort: It is incredibly light and naturally very comfortable to play for long sessions. Smooth, Non-Stick Finish: The finish is fantastic. Unlike my other acoustics with higher gloss finishes, my palm and forearm don't stick to the body at all while playing. (As a bonus, the wood smells amazing!) A Natural, Subtle Color: A quick note for online buyers—the photos on the website make the finish look very bright and orange. In reality, the color is much less vibrant and features beautiful, natural, earthy wood tones. I was actually thrilled with this, as I prefer the more organic look in person. Unique Design: The cutaway is sleek and distinctly different from what I've seen on other acoustic models. This guitar was manufactured in Tecate, Mexico, and it is obvious that the exact same rigorous quality control from Taylor's main El Cajon, CA factory (just 30 to 40 minutes north) applies there. The craftsmanship is flawless. I am going to enjoy playing this for the next few decades. Highly recommended!

Build quality 10/10, fit and finish 10/10, playability 10/10, sounds great, holds tune well, set up perfectly out of box. This thing feels more like a 3-grand Taylor than the standard 1 or 2(14ce). No onboard tuner but a clip-on is fine with me. Haven't plugged in.
