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. It delivers the signature Taylor clarity and easy-playing feel in a package that’s ready for the realities of the road, the studio, or the sanctuary. Comfortable Grand Auditorium body, articulate solid spruce top, and plug-and-play Taylor electronics—it’s a tool designed to make music, not excuses.
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’s big enough to move air with authority when you dig in with a pick, yet focused enough for detailed fingerstyle and delicate chord melody work. The Venetian cutaway keeps the upper frets wide open, so that solo you’ve been hearing in your head is actually reachable without a wrestling match.
Stage Ready Acoustic Electric
The “e” in 114ce means you’re getting the dynamite Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) 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, and authentically acoustic sound that doesn’t squeal or get boomy the second the volume comes up. Real talk, this kind of consistency is what working players live for.
The Legendary Taylor Feel
Taylor necks are famous for feeling broken in right out of the case, and the 114ce keeps that tradition alive. 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. The action is dialed in, the intonation is sorted, and there are no sharp fret ends or weird buzzing spots. You get a guitar that invites long writing sessions, 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. The solid Sitka spruce top provides tonal maturity and sparkle, while the layered walnut or sapele back and sides offer extra resilience against changing humidity—making it a reliable partner for travel. It’s responsive enough for recording, reliable enough for the stage, and tough enough to live in the real world.
