From Our Research Team:

A Taylor with a Rich and Satisfying Tone!

Taylor's 714e acoustic-electric guitar is an excellent choice if you're looking for a traditionally voiced, full-sounding instrument. With a 714e, you get the bold tone you expect from a guitar with back and sides made of genuine East Indian rosewood, plus the balanced mids and shimmering highs of a choice Engelmann spruce top. Even unplugged, the 714e gives you a surprising amount of natural projection, and thanks to its onboard Taylor Expression System electronics, it also sounds fantastic when you plug in. If tonal perfection, great looks, and uber-playability are your thing, check out Taylor's 714e.

Taylor 714e Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • A classic tonewoods combination - Engelmann spruce and Indian rosewood
  • Grand Auditorium body style gives you exceptional presence
  • Renowned Taylor Expression System electronics


A classic tonewoods combination - Engelmann spruce and Indian rosewood
Nothing beats the sound of real rosewood topped with spruce - and that's exactly what you get with the Taylor 714e. It features a beautiful Engelmann spruce top, which gives you wonderful projection and the perfect amount of sparkle. Add to that the balanced tone and astonishing projection of the 714e's Indian rosewood back and sides, and you have a guitar with timeless tone.

Grand Auditorium body style gives you exceptional presence
Taylor's beloved Grand Auditorium body style, featured on the 714e, employs the width and depth of the Dreadnought. But, its waist is narrower, which gives Grand Auditorium bodied acoustic guitars a sleeker look, with more treble zing. The 714e's Grand Auditorium body style also helps to sharpen the definition of each note, balancing out nicely withe the excellent projection of its Engelmann spruce top.

Renowned Taylor Expression System electronics
Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone, the Taylor 714e's Expression System uses patented Dynamic Sensors to capture both top and string vibration with incredible detail. The Taylor ES system was created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer Rupert Neve. Unlike standard onboard electronics, the Taylor Expression System is seamlessly integrated into the design of the 714e from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or can be set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.

Taylor 714e Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:
  • An acoustic-electric guitar with a bold yet smooth voice
  • Grand Auditorium body style gives you dreadnought-like projection with a more expressive upper register
  • Engelmann spruce provides a bright and balanced tone
  • Indian rosewood back and sides add clarity and projection
  • Onboard Taylor Expression System electronics give you natural sound even when plugged in live

If bold, balanced tone is your deal, the Taylor 714e is for you!

Best customer service Ive ever encountered. My guitar arrived ahead of the date it was supposed to, in flawless condition. Played well right out of the box. I will be buying all of my gear from you, from here on out. You made me feel like I was ordering a custom guitar, just for me. I was treated like a valuable customer.

Taylor guitars have always had a propensity for being cookie-cutter. This guitar breaks the proverbial mold! The Engelmann top provides a bright, sparkly tone that sustains. The Rosewood back and s... read more [+]ides provide for the depth and warmth that most smaller guitars lack. The number one reason I bought this guitar was the color...this is quite a unique sunburst and has gained many admirers. Overall I am extremely impressed as this guitar had everything I was looking for and then some...and even though I did get a steal of a deal I still think Taylors are overpriced based on name recognition alone! Very thankful for the guys at Sweetwater and their top notch customer service. close [-]
