Exotic Take On a Taylor Favorite
Not only is the 714ce Grand Auditorium Ebony's beauty only exceeded by its breathtaking voice, but each piece of tonewood was hand selected by Taylor specifically for Sweetwater. From the figured bearclaw spruce top to the bold-looking and sounding West African ebony back and sides, every exotic detail of the 714ce Ebony has been fine-tuned for a playing experience like none other. And when it's time to share this instrument's beauty with the rest of the world, you'll find Taylor's ES-2 system waiting patiently inside the 714ce Ebony for its chance to shine.

Exotic appeal
The 714ce has long been a flagship acoustic-electric guitar in Taylor's lineup. But they took it a step further with this top-shelf piece. The 714ce Grand Auditorium Ebony's bearclaw spruce top sings with the billowing lows and detailed highs that have come to define the Taylor sound, but turn the guitar around and witness the stunning beauty of this guitar's unique West African ebony back and sides. Not only is it gorgeous, but it has the uncanny ability to translate the nuances of a player's personal style, making it a favorite of Bob Taylor himself.
Grand Auditorium body style gives you exceptional presence
Taylor's beloved Grand Auditorium body style, featured on the 714ce, 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 714ce's Grand Auditorium body style also helps to sharpen the definition of each note. Ultimately, from fingerpicking to medium strumming, the Grand Auditorium is a favorite choice around Sweetwater for nearly every playing style.
Taylor Expression System 2
If you play plugged in, then you're going to love the Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics built into your 714ce Grand Auditorium Ebony acoustic-electric guitar. The key to this fantastic system is the 3-section proprietary pickup located behind the saddle, which provides you with remarkably clear and accurate sound. In addition to a master volume control, a pair of tone controls lets you tweak your highs and lows to get the sound you need, and a discreet phase switch offers vital onboard feedback suppression.
