Vintage-Voiced Resonance Meets Workhorse Versatility
The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the Taylor 14ce, a full-scale Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric built to deliver classic, broken-in sound at an accessible price point. Featuring a solid torrefied (roasted) spruce top paired with layered sapele back and sides, the 14ce offers impressive volume, warm projection, and crystal-clear articulation out of the box.
Designed with Taylor’s slender maple neck, West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard, and internal C-Class bracing architecture, this instrument yields enhanced sustain, rich low-end presence, and signature playability. Equipped with discrete Fishman Sonitone GT2 electronics and a comfortable Venetian cutaway, the 14ce transitions smoothly from living room sessions to live stage performances.
Sanctuary Expert Note: "The roasted spruce top on the 14ce gives it the warm, open resonance of a guitar that’s been played for decades. Combined with the slim neck profile and C-Class bracing, it’s one of the best value-driven acoustic-electrics in our shop for gigging musicians and worship players who need instant plug-and-play tone."
