Designed for Left-Handed Players

Finding quality left-handed guitars can be challenging, but Taylor doesn't compromise. This 114ce is purpose-built for southpaw players, not simply a right-handed guitar flipped and restrung. The bracing, electronics placement, and every detail are optimized for left-handed playing. Taylor understands that left-handed guitarists deserve the same quality and selection as right-handed players, and this instrument delivers exactly that.

Solid Sitka Spruce Top

The solid Sitka spruce top is the foundation of this guitar's exceptional sound. Sitka spruce is prized for its strength, clarity, and dynamic range. It responds beautifully to both gentle fingerpicking and aggressive strumming, delivering clear articulation across the frequency spectrum. As a solid wood top (not laminate), it will continue to open up and improve with age, developing richer, more complex tones over years of playing.

Layered Walnut Beauty

The layered walnut back and sides provide both sonic and practical benefits. Walnut produces warm, balanced tones with a rich midrange that complements the spruce top beautifully. The layered construction offers excellent durability and resistance to humidity changes, making this guitar reliable for travel and varying environmental conditions. The attractive walnut grain creates visual appeal that matches the sonic quality.

Taylor ES2 Excellence

Taylor's Expression System 2 is widely regarded as one of the finest acoustic guitar pickup systems available. Unlike traditional under-saddle pickups that can sound thin or artificial, the ES2's behind-the-saddle design captures the guitar's natural acoustic voice with remarkable accuracy. The result is amplified tone that sounds like your acoustic guitar, maintaining the warmth, clarity, and dynamic response that makes acoustic guitars special.

Grand Auditorium Advantage

The grand auditorium body shape is Taylor's most popular and versatile design. Slightly smaller than a dreadnought, it offers comfortable playing for extended sessions while delivering impressive volume and tonal depth. The balanced frequency response works beautifully for fingerstyle playing, strumming, and everything in between. Whether you're playing delicate arpeggios or driving rhythm parts, the grand auditorium responds with clarity and power.

Professional Playability

Taylor guitars are renowned for their comfortable, fast-playing necks, and this 114ce is no exception. The tropical mahogany neck features Taylor's player-friendly profile that suits various hand sizes and playing styles. The ebony fingerboard provides a smooth, responsive surface for precise fretting. Combined with Taylor's meticulous setup, this guitar plays beautifully right out of the case.

Includes Deluxe Gig Bag

This guitar comes with a Taylor deluxe gig bag that provides superior protection for travel and storage. The padded construction safeguards your investment during transport, while the convenient carrying handles and shoulder straps make it easy to take your Taylor anywhere. Interior accessory pockets keep picks, capos, and other essentials organized.
