Overview

A Grand Auditorium with torrefied spruce for bold projection.

The Taylor 14ce Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar offers high-quality construction, clear sound, and comfortable playability at a price more musicians can afford. It features a solid torrefied spruce top, which helps the guitar project sound well and respond quickly, like many Taylor guitars. The torrefaction process (carefully roasting the wood) gives the top a warmer, sweeter sound, like a guitar that's already been played for years. Layered African sapele back and sides provide strength and a balanced sound base. The Grand Auditorium body shape makes it versatile for different playing styles. With its special V-Class bracing inside, this model has improved volume, sustain (how long notes ring out), and intonation (notes sounding in tune), making it dependable for recording or playing live. Finished with a matte coating and equipped with Fishman Sonitone GT-2 electronics, the Taylor 14ce nicely blends performance and value.

Solid Torrefied Spruce Top For Enhanced Resonance

This guitar has a solid top made of torrefied spruce, a great choice for players wanting both strong projection and warmth. The torrefaction process improves the wood's sound qualities, resulting in a top that sounds mature and "played-in," and responds quickly to your touch. The top produces clear high notes and captures the details of your playing, whether you're fingerpicking softly or strumming hard. This refinement ensures the guitar delivers clarity and sustain, making it excellent for players who care about deep, precise tone.

Acoustic Electric Guitar With Layered Sapele Back And Sides

The back and sides are made of layered African sapele, providing a durable and reliable foundation for the guitar's resonant top. Sapele sounds similar to mahogany, offering a balanced warmth in the middle range that complements the brighter spruce top. Using layered wood also makes the guitar stronger against changes in humidity and temperature, making it reliable for musicians who travel or play in different environments. Combined with the Grand Auditorium body shape, these woods create a rich, balanced sound suitable for both live shows and studio recording.

Fishman Sonitone GT-2 Electronics for Natural Amplification

Equipped with Fishman Sonitone GT-2 electronics, this acoustic-electric guitar smoothly transitions from acoustic playing to amplified performance. The preamp, located discreetly inside the soundhole, has easy-to-use tone and volume controls for quick adjustments. The pickup system clearly captures the guitar's natural sound, preserving the warmth from the torrefied spruce top and the balanced midrange from the sapele back and sides. Whether performing on stage or recording, these electronics provide consistent sound output and dynamic response for professional-quality results.

Taylor Guitars Precision Engineering for Long-Lasting Playability

Built to last, the Taylor 14ce uses quality materials and expert construction for consistent performance over time. The hard rock maple neck feels smooth to play, while the West African ebony fingerboard is durable and responsive. Die-cast chrome tuners keep the guitar reliably in tune, and the white micarta saddle and Nubone nut help ensure notes are accurate. The matte finish looks elegant and also protects the wood. These features combine to make sure the instrument remains a dependable musical partner for many years.

A Full-Scale Taylor With Exceptional Value

The Taylor 14ce Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar is designed for musicians looking for Taylor's signature sound and playability at a more accessible price. The torrefied spruce top, layered sapele body, and Fishman electronics make it an excellent choice for players needing quality and reliability.
