Our Take:

The Taylor 114ce is a great all-around guitar! Featuring a slightly narrower neck with Venetian cutaway for maximum playability and versatility, you’ll find great response to all styles of play. The Grand Auditorium body is full of rich tones by blending walnut back & sides with solid spruce on the top for just the right amount of punch. The dynamic tones are wonderfully captured by the Expression System 2 to give you a great amplified sound. Taylor loves giving you quality and tone, and the 114ce is another great example of both.

Taylor's Take:

This cutaway acoustic/electric Grand Auditorium blends layered walnut back and sides with a solid Sitka spruce top, making it a great all-around acoustic that responds well to strumming, flatpicking and fingerpicking. With our patented Taylor neck, you’ll enjoy easy playability and accurate intonation as long as you own the guitar, and the slightly narrower 1-11/16-inch nut width makes forming barre chords easier on the hands.  The Venetian cutaway gives you access to more upper-end fretboard real estate, while our dynamic Expression System 2 pickup produces a natural amplified acoustic voice that will help you sound your best whenever you plug in. The clean appointment scheme includes Italian acrylic dot fretboard inlays, a 3-ring rosette, plus black binding and a black pickguard that complement the look of the genuine ebony fretboard and bridge. The guitar includes a lightweight protective gig bag for easy portability.

Note: Because wood is an organic material, slight variations in the grain occur naturally and add to the uniqueness of each guitar. Because of these natural variations, the grain of the instrument you receive might not perfectly match the one pictured here.
