Product Description

Workhorse Taylor Tone That Is Ready For Any Stage

If you have been hunting for an acoustic electric that just works every single time you pick it up, the Taylor 114ce hits that sweet spot. Comfortable Grand Auditorium body, easy playing feel, and plug in ready Taylor electronics that make it feel like cheating at the gig.

Grand Auditorium Body That Does It All

The 114ce uses Taylor’s Grand Auditorium shape, which is that magic middle ground between a small concert body and a big dreadnought cannon. It is big enough to move air when you dig in, yet tight and focused enough for detailed fingerstyle and chord melody work.

The cutaway keeps the upper frets wide open, so that solo you have been hearing in your head is actually reachable without a wrestling match. Whether you sit or stand, this body shape just melts into your ribcage and lets you forget about the guitar and focus on the song.

Stage Ready Acoustic Electric

The “e” in 114ce means you are getting onboard Taylor electronics, so you can go from couch to coffeehouse to full band worship set without changing guitars. Plug straight into a PA, an acoustic amp, or your interface and you get a clear, controlled sound that does not squeal or get boomy the second the volume comes up.

Roll a little volume back for glassy cleans, push it for more presence, and let your hands do the rest. Real talk, this kind of consistency is what working players live for.

Easy Playing Taylor Feel

Taylor necks are famous for feeling broken in right out of the case, and the 114ce keeps that tradition going. The carve feels slim enough for electric players to feel at home, with enough substance to keep chords comfortable and in tune up and down the neck.

We take that playability a step further with our Player Perfect setup. Action dialed in, intonation sorted, and no sharp fret ends or weird buzzing spots. You get a guitar that invites long writing sessions and late night practice, not one that fights you.

Built For Real Life Playing

The 114ce is the kind of guitar you actually take to the gig, the writer’s room, and the campfire. It is responsive enough for recording, reliable enough for the stage, and tough enough to live in the real world, not just in a case under your bed.

If you want one acoustic electric that can handle most of what you throw at it without drama, this is that guitar.

Dialed In And Ready To Ship

This specific Taylor 114ce is in our Evansville, Indiana shop right now, fully inspected and set up by our techs who actually play. We check it, play it, tweak it, and only then box it up so it shows up ready to make music the second you tune it up.

The Lowdown

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The 114ce is built for real world players who need one acoustic electric to cover a lot of ground. If you are playing worship sets, writing your own songs, hitting open mics, or recording at home, this guitar gives you Taylor playability and tone in a package that is easy to live with and easy to gig with.
Yes. The Grand Auditorium body is designed to handle both. It has enough body to support aggressive strumming without getting too boomy, and enough balance and focus to keep fingerstyle lines clear and articulate. If you bounce between picking with a flatpick and playing with your fingers, the 114ce keeps up without complaining.
Absolutely. The 114ce is an acoustic electric with onboard Taylor electronics, which means you can plug straight into a PA or acoustic amp and get a clear, usable sound fast. The cutaway gives you access for lead lines and swells, and the balanced tone fits beautifully around vocals without stepping all over them.
If you have outgrown your first acoustic and want something that will actually inspire you to practice and play more, the 114ce is a great move. The neck feels smooth and forgiving, the intonation is solid, and having built in electronics opens up gigs and recording that cheaper starter guitars struggle with. It is a guitar you can keep growing with for years.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
