Taylor 114ce Special Edition - dark tobacco edgeburst top

The TAYLOR 114ce Special Edition (Dark Tobacco Shaded Edgeburst) is an electro-acoustic steel-string acoustic guitar that combines aesthetics and performance, ideal for musicians looking for a versatile instrument that excels in any situation.

Overview

Crafted from a solid, roasted Sitka spruce top, a laminated sapele body, and an ebony fingerboard, this Grand Auditorium-style guitar with a cutaway is designed to offer an exceptional playing experience, whether at home, in the recording studio, or on stage.

A Grand Auditorium body shape that combines comfort and versatility

A true Taylor icon, the Grand Auditorium body style combines comfort and acoustic performance. It’s perfect for all playing styles, from energetic strumming to delicate fingerpicking.

Premium materials for exceptional sound

Sitka spruce is traditionally chosen for its strength and elasticity, producing a direct, punchy sound with remarkable articulation. Its kiln-drying enhances the instrument’s tuning stability, sustain, clarity, and resonance. In addition, Sapele, used as a substitute for mahogany, offers a more pronounced, crystal-clear tone thanks to its hardness.

An Eucalyptus fingerboard for optimal playing clarity

The eucalyptus fingerboard, though less common, offers high density and hardness that accentuate the clarity of each note. Its comfortable feel and attractive appearance make it a top choice for guitarists.

Expression System 2: Amplified Tone

Developed after several years of research, Taylor’s Expression System 2 ensures a faithful reproduction of the instrument’s volume and character. Thanks to advanced pickups and an improved circuit, it offers enhanced responsiveness and dynamics, as well as approximately 25% more warmth in the tone.
