The cutaway body and 15-fret ebony fingerboard give you full access to the upper register. For musicians who want a versatile, gig-ready acoustic with professional sound at a great value, the 114ce Special Edition is ideal.

Torrefied Top Enhances Tone

The 114ce Special Edition's torrefied Sitka spruce top goes through a heating process that increases its hardness and stability. The result is a top that produces notes with greater sustain, richness and responsiveness. You'll notice each note rings out fully, blending together for a tone that's harmonically complex. The torrefied top also gives this guitar more volume and projection, so your playing cuts through on stage or in sessions. For warm, well-balanced tone that responds dynamically to your touch, the 114ce Special Edition delivers.

Layered Wood Construction Withstands Changes

The 114ce Special Edition's back and sides are made of layered sapele, an engineered wood that bonds sapele strips together. Layered wood is highly resistant to changes in temperature and humidity so your guitar retains structural integrity even with environmental shifts. The layered sapele back and sides also provide an attractive woodgrain aesthetic at an affordable price. They transmit string energy from the top with clarity and warmth for a balanced tone overall.

Plug In With the ES2 Pickup System

Taylor's ES2 pickup system gives you a high-fidelity plugged-in experience with the 114ce Special Edition. It features three uniquely-positioned pickup sensors behind the saddle that capture nuances in your playing. The ES2's preamp provides tone shaping so you can dial in the ideal amplified sound. Whether on stage, recording or practicing with headphones, the ES2 system delivers the natural acoustic voice of your Taylor guitar. For convenient amplified performance, the ES2 is an innovative solution.

Premium Appointments and Playability

The 114ce Special Edition features several professional-grade appointments that make playing a joy. Its genuine ebony fingerboard and bridge provide a smooth surface and visual accent. Chrome tuners and the 15-fret neck enable easy upper-register access. Taylor's distinctive neck shape offers comfort for any playing style. When you want a gig-ready acoustic with performance-quality sound and feel at an accessible price, the Taylor 114ce Special-Edition Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar is a fantastic choice.
