Controlled overtones and balanced response make the 600 Series ideal for recording and live performance. Colorful finishes, including a striking new cherry/black sunburst, add drama to maple's alluring natural figure. Add the Expression System on CE models and you have powerful guitars with stunning stage presence. Taylor Guitars 614ceThe bold sounds of Big Leaf maple and Sitka spruce are enhanced by Taylor's Grand Auditorium body design. Taylor Guitars 614ce WoodThe distinctive blend of Big Leaf maple and Sitka spruce creates a bright, crystalline timbre with strong projection and warm overtones. Taylor Guitars 614ce Body Type: Grand AuditoriumTaylor's Grand Auditorium combines the width and depth of a Dreadnought with a narrower waist. Its sleek design yields a strong treble zing across the tonal spectrum and sharpens the definition of individual notes. The Grand Auditorium is a strong fingerpicking guitar that also adapts well to medium strumming. Taylor Expression System™Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone, the Expression System™ utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors™ to capture top and string vibration like never before. Created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer, Mr. Rupert Neve, the Taylor ES is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound. Taylor Guitars 614ce Finish: GlossThe finish used to create this guitar's lustrous gloss top, back, and sides was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes. Available finish options in this series include natural, amber, red, black, blue, cherry/black sunburst, cherry sunburst, honey sunburst, and tobacco sunburst.

I've owned several Martins, still do, as well as great instruments from Gibson, Takamine, Epi, Ovation, etc. I fly one guitar, and only one. My 614ce is the one. Mine is the Honey Burst finish, no pic ... read more [+]kguard, so I have to be careful strumming it hard. The characteristic Maple brightness warms up after a year or two, much like Koa will when played. This guitar does everything I need it to, period. The original Expression System took one knock too many, and the factory replaced it (free) but I chose to upgrade to the new 9v battery system. It can be played in every style, from hard strumming to the most delicate finger picking. Unplugged, it's balance is perfect. Plugged-in, the same, just louder. To me it's the perfect guitar. Taylor does magic with every tone wood they use, but for my two cents, they just hit Maple out of the park. Just one amazing instrument. Can't recommend it more highly. close [-]

The natural tone of the guitar is outstanding and I don't feel that it is lost when I plug it into a PA with a DI box. I have the older ES pickup and I am thinking about having mine upgraded. The only reason I am considering an upgrade is because the newer ES has an LED that illuminates when it is on. More that once my battery has died during worship and the sound engineer lost me. The only reason I haven't dropped it off for an upgrade is because I can't imagine using another guitar while this one is in the shop. close [-]

This guitar came set up perfectly from the factory. I played the guitar several times in the store along with other high end models. I picked this out over other other taylor models as I liked the ove ... read more [+]rall mellow sound that it gave vs. the others being brighter. The workmanship of the woods, and the inlay are incredible. The guitar sounds perfect all the way up and down the neck. I don't do a lot of finger picking, but I can tell there is plenty of room there when I get to it. The expresion system is very versatile and allows for great tone adjustment to the instrument. I sometimes run mine through a fender accoustasonic Jr. and it sounds perfect regardless of the room because of the adjustments you can make with the expression system. I have heard of people having a hard time with the strap buttons holding the strap to the guitar, but I have not run into this problem. I have needed no service to the guitar thus far, so I haven't dealt with Taylor directly. I highly recommend this guitar for anyone looking for an accoustic guitar that will do it all. I will never part with mine. close [-]
I am really happy with guitar

I own a handful of quality guitars: Carvin, Takamini, another Taylor, Cort, and a Baden. Each has a distinct tone, but I believe the 614CE is my all-around favorite.
It has a very nice ... read more [+] tone for a maple guitar. After 2 years, it has opened up considerably and the tone has gotten warmer. Maple can be a little brittle on the high end, but this Taylor manages to minimize that. The bass is very solid if the guitar is against your body, provides satisfying feedback.
It is beautiful, and is becoming more beautiful as it ages. The fit and finish is impeccable.
The expression system provides just the right amount of control for recording and performing.
The brightness of the tone great for jamming as it cuts through in the mix. Even when there's a electric guitarist nearby, going a little crazy.
Especially if you're a fingerstyle player like me, I recommend this guitar. close [-]
