Grand Auditorium body style
Taylor’s beloved Grand Auditorium body style, featured on the 114ce, employs the width and depth of the dreadnought. But its narrower waist gives Grand Auditorium-bodied acoustic guitars a sleeker look with remarkable high-end response — helping to sharpen the definition of each note. And the comfort of this body style is a huge reason the 114ce is a popular instrument for live performance. From fingerpicking to strumming, the 114ce Grand Auditorium is a great choice for nearly every playing style.
Unique tonewoods
The tonewoods chosen for the 114ce offer detailed tone, strong projection, and durability. The sapele back and sides offer rigid construction that aids in the guitar’s pronounced tone and helps the instrument remain stable under fluctuating climate changes and rough handling. The combination of maple and ebony on the neck ensures a ringing midrange with plenty of top-end detail. Lastly, the 114ce now boasts a torrefied top made from solid Sitka spruce. Sitka spruce is a natural choice for acoustic guitar tops, and Taylor’s roasting procedure (torrefaction) enhances spruce’s resonant response while reducing weight and giving woodgrain an extra-vivid look.
Taylor’s Expression System 2
Taylor’s Expression System 2 uses a proprietary pickup behind the saddle. The pickup’s three individually calibrated, precisely positioned piezo-electric sensors respond organically to the instrument’s acoustic energy as it’s transferred through the saddle. In concert with Taylor’s custom-designed preamp, the result is a natural acoustic sound with incredible dynamic range and responsiveness. Sweetwater’s guitar gurus are mightily impressed with Taylor’s Expression System 2.
