Product Description

The Player’s Choice for Stage and Studio

Meet the Taylor 114ce Special Edition in a stunning Dark Tobacco Shaded Edgeburst finish. This isn’t just another acoustic; it’s a workhorse with a story to tell. The Grand Auditorium body shape, a Taylor signature, delivers a versatile voice that’s articulate enough for fingerstyle but has the headroom for firm strumming. It’s that perfect middle ground that records beautifully and sits perfectly in a live mix.

The real magic starts with the top wood. This 114ce features a torrefied spruce top, a special roasting process that mimics the cellular changes of a vintage, well-aged guitar. The result? You get the warmth, resonance, and dynamic sensitivity of an older instrument, right out of the box. Paired with layered back and sides, this guitar is not only rich in tone but also resilient against changing humidity, making it a reliable partner for the road.

Plug In and Play

When it’s time to plug in, Taylor’s acclaimed Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics capture the guitar’s natural voice with incredible fidelity. The behind-the-saddle pickup design translates all that torrefied top goodness into a warm, clear, and balanced amplified tone. Whether you’re playing a coffee shop gig or a festival stage, the 114ce delivers authentic acoustic sound that’s easy to dial in.

Effortless Playability

Taylor built their reputation on playability, and this guitar is a prime example. The maple neck has a comfortable Standard Carve profile that feels instantly familiar, while the 1-11/16″ nut width provides comfortable string spacing for both chording and single-note runs. The Venetian cutaway offers effortless access to the upper frets of the ebony fingerboard, encouraging you to explore the entire neck.

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.

Torrefaction is a wood roasting process that accelerates the aging of the wood. For you, the player, it means you get the sound of a vintage, played-in guitar from day one. The top is more responsive, resonant, and has a richer, warmer character than brand new, un-roasted spruce.

Think of the Grand Auditorium as the ultimate all-rounder. It has a narrower waist than a dreadnought, which tightens up the low end and gives it a more focused, balanced tone. It’s incredibly versatile for fingerstyle, strumming, and solo playing, whereas a dreadnought is known more for its powerful, bass-heavy strumming voice.

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.

Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.
