Pro-Level Playability Meets Vintage-Voiced Resonance
The Taylor 114ce Sapele Grand Auditorium brings Taylor's signature playability and legendary engineering to an extraordinarily accessible price point. Built on Taylor's iconic Grand Auditorium body shape, this versatile acoustic-electric features a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top paired with layered sapele back and sides. Taylor's special roasting process yields a sweet, aged sonic profile right out of the gig bag, delivering mature warmth, enhanced acoustic response, and exceptional volume.
Whether you are tracking in the studio, leading worship on Sunday, or gigging at local venues, the 114ce is built to perform. The slender, fast-playing Taylor neck profile ensures effortless fretting, while onboard Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics capture the true dynamic range and organic wood character of your instrument when plugged in.
The Sanctuary Expert Note: The addition of the torrefied (roasted) spruce top is a massive upgrade for this model. It softens the harsh treble top-end typical of fresh acoustic tops, giving you the open, resonant bloom of a guitar that’s been played for 20 years from day one.
