The Taylor 114ce is not one of them. From the first chord, it delivers — open, balanced, and alive in a way that makes you want to keep playing. This is Taylor's Grand Auditorium at its most accessible, and it's no coincidence that it's become one of the most trusted acoustics in its price range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Shape That Does Everything\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Grand Auditorium body is Taylor's signature all-rounder — wider and deeper than a concert guitar, but with a narrower waist than a dreadnought that sharpens note definition and gives the whole instrument a more refined, responsive feel. Strum hard and it fills a room. Fingerpick softly and every note speaks with clarity. It's equally at home on a living room couch, a rehearsal stage, or in front of a microphone. Few body shapes handle that range of demand this well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTonewoods That Pull Their Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe solid torrefied Sitka spruce top has been heat-roasted to accelerate the natural aging process — removing moisture, deepening the grain, and coaxing out a warmth and sweetness that typically takes decades to develop on its own. Layered sapele back and sides anchor the sound with a focused, punchy midrange and the kind of structural toughness that holds up in real-world conditions. Taylor's advanced C-Class bracing with relief rout pushes that further, adding extra volume, longer sustain, and improved low-end presence beneath the hood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlay-All-Day Comfort\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTaylor's Standard Carve maple neck and 1-11\/16\" nut width hit a sweet spot — slim enough for easy chord transitions, wide enough for clean fingerstyle work. The West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard adds a precise, smooth playing surface, and the Venetian cutaway means the upper frets are never out of reach. At 25-1\/2\" scale, it plays with the kind of effortless tension that keeps your hand relaxed through a long set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlug In and Sound Like Yourself\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTaylor's ES2 electronics sit behind the saddle — not under it — picking up tone where the guitar actually resonates. The result is an amplified sound that stays true to the guitar's natural voice without the quack or brittleness that plagues lesser pickup systems. Three individual piezo sensors paired with Taylor's custom preamp give you dynamic range and expressiveness that holds up on any stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taylor structured gig bag\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs at a Glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBody: Grand Auditorium with Venetian Cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTop: Solid Torrefied Sitka Spruce (Matte)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides: Layered Sapele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNeck: Hard Rock Maple — Standard Carve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFingerboard: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNut Width: 1-11\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eScale Length: 25-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBracing: C-Class with Relief Rout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eElectronics: Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFinish: Natural Matte\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylor Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45122874048694,"sku":"114CE","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9741\/9446\/files\/Taylor-114ce-2210243411-FrontLeft-2023.jpg?v=1780597997","url":"https:\/\/odibellamusic.com\/products\/taylor-guitars-114ce-100-series-grand-auditorium-cutaway-acoustic-electric-guitar","provider":"O DiBella Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
