Stand out from the crowd with this amazing Taylor quality finish. Distinct from its peers in the 100 series, this sunburst special boasts a stunning aesthetic character to keep the spotlight fixed firmly on you!
With a solid Sitka spruce top and light and durable layered walnut back and sides, the 114ce-SB voices a beautifully balanced tone. The popular spruce provides a broad dynamic range while the walnut imbues plenty of warmth and colour to the sound. Combined with the versatile and nimble Grand Auditorium body shape, you have a range of textures and tonalities to call upon.
This layered and solid combination produces plenty of midrange presence, glistening high-end chime and resounding low-end thumps to embellish your music. With a strong foundation in each frequency, you can stray from flatpicking to fingerpicking to enthusiastic strumming without sacrificing an ounce of sonic detail. A true Swiss army knife guitar!
The walnut's rich brown hues and gorgeous natural grain pattern provide plenty of character to the visuals, but Taylor's layered construction also results in a material that's extremely sturdy. Three pieces of wood are bonded together to ensure the 114ce-SB is extremely resistant to moisture and humidity changes, great news for frequent performers!
No hassle, no fuss - simply extended playing enjoyment. The 114ce-SB sports many player friendly features such as its Grand Auditorium shape and sleek Taylor neck profile to help you focus on the fretting and less on hand cramp and discomfort!
The slender contours of the GA shape awards you a sonic presence similar to the mighty dreadnought profile - while being far easier to hold and play. That's further improved by an X patterned bracing to ensure your unplugged sound still packs plenty of volume and rich bass character. On the fretting side, Taylor's classic neck profile affords you acres of room on the fingerboard to nail those difficult chords, while premium ebony ensures slick and speedy note transitions.
