PRELOVED TAYLOR 114ce Grand Auditorium
Preloved condition.
The Taylor 114ce is one of the most popular entry points into Taylor's full-size acoustic-electric range, pairing the versatile Grand Auditorium body shape with a solid spruce top, Venetian cutaway and Taylor's famously comfortable neck feel.
Designed as an all-rounder, the 114ce works equally well for strumming, fingerstyle, songwriting and live performance. Its balanced response, clear note separation and comfortable body shape make it a practical guitar for players who want one acoustic to cover a lot of ground.
Grand Auditorium Versatility
Taylor's Grand Auditorium body is known for its balance between power and comfort. It has enough body size to deliver strong projection and low-end support, but its narrower waist keeps it comfortable and responsive for lighter fingerstyle playing as well.
Solid Spruce Top
The 114ce uses a solid spruce top, giving it a clear, articulate response with good dynamic range. Depending on production year, 114ce models have used either standard Sitka spruce or, on current production, torrefied spruce for a slightly more seasoned and responsive character.
Layered Back & Sides
The 100 Series has used layered sapele and, in some production periods, layered walnut for the back and sides. Both constructions are designed to provide stability and consistency while keeping the guitar accessible and road-friendly.
Comfortable Taylor Neck
A slim Taylor neck profile and 25.5-inch scale length give the 114ce an easy, familiar feel. The narrower 1 11/16-inch nut width used on 100 Series steel-string models is especially comfortable for chord work and players moving up from beginner acoustics.
Venetian Cutaway
The smooth Venetian cutaway provides easy access to the upper frets without disrupting the clean lines of the Grand Auditorium body, making the guitar more flexible for lead playing and higher-register chord work.
Onboard Electronics
Most modern 114ce models use Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics for stage and recording use. Earlier production versions can vary, so the exact electronics fitted to this preloved example can be confirmed in-store if required.
