Grand Auditorium body style
Taylor's beloved Grand Auditorium body style, featured on the 14ce, employs the width and depth of the dreadnought. But its narrower waist gives Grand Auditorium-bodied acoustic guitars a sleeker look with remarkable high-end response — helping to sharpen the definition of each note. And the comfort of this body style is a huge reason the 14ce is a popular instrument for live performance. From fingerpicking to strumming, the 14ce Grand Auditorium is a great choice for nearly every playing style.
Classic tonewoods
The tonewoods chosen for the 14ce offer detailed tone, strong projection, and durability. The sapele back and sides offer rigid construction that aids in the guitar's pronounced tone and helps the instrument remain stable under fluctuating climate changes and rough handling. The maple neck ensures a ringing midrange with plenty of top-end detail. Lastly, the 14ce boasts a torrefied top made from solid Sitka spruce. While Sitka spruce is a natural choice for acoustic guitar tops, Sweetwater’s guitar gurus know Taylor’s roasting procedure (torrefaction) further enhances spruce’s resonant response while reducing weight and giving woodgrain an extra-vivid look.
Plug in with Fishman Sonitone GT-2 electronics
The Taylor 14ce houses Fishman Sonitone GT-2 electronics, a soundhole-mounted preamp with both tone and volume controls. The GT-2 amplifies the 14ce's natural warmth and sweetness, resulting in a plugged-in experience every bit as dynamic and responsive as the guitar’s organic sound. Whether performing on the national stage or at the local café, Fishman Sonitone GT-2 electronics will faithfully amplify that classic Taylor sound.
