If you ever dream of a luxury acoustic guitar experience, Taylor is the beginning, middle and end of the story. Passion and innovation seeps from every Taylor product, and the 114ce is no different. The soundboard - or guitar top - is built from the same Sitka spruce wood used for the majority of Taylor’s acoustic products. It is relied on so frequently for its strength and flexibility, as well as a wide dynamic range that accommodates all strumming, fingerpicking and flatpicking styles.
When it comes to a Taylor acoustic, there is always more than meets the eye. Beneath the surface of the 114ce, you can find an X-bracing pattern which provides the volume and sustain of the guitar, in addition to creating a clear, well-balanced voice. The Grand Auditorium shape ensures balanced tones that thrive in the midrange, while delivering a strong lower end.
Place yourself at the forefront of acoustic technology with the ES2 system that allows you to bring your own acoustic voice to the masses. This hidden pickup contains meticulously placed sensors designed to effectively convey the sound of your guitar. Tailored to respond to your playing, the durable layered walnut back produces a luscious voice that develops over time – pairing with the spruce tonewood to bring the sound of the coastal North American rainforests right to your door.
