6-string Acoustic-electric Guitar with Solid Sitka Spruce Top, Layered Walnut Back and Sides, Maple Neck, and Ebony Fretboard - Matte Natural
Taylor's Distinctive Grand Auditorium
The Taylor 114e acoustic-electric guitar is a terrific choice for beginning or seasoned players. You'll find the 114e's maple neck extremely comfortable and playable, while its solid Sitka spruce and layered walnut tonewood combination provides you with the perfect balance of warmth and sparkle. On top of that, the onboard ES2 electronics translate your true acoustic tone when playing plugged in. Musiekwereld has been selling Taylor guitars for quite some time, and we're sure you'll appreciate the warm, lively tone of the Taylor 114e acoustic-electric guitar.
Grand Auditorium body style
Taylor's beloved Grand Auditorium body style, featured on the 114e, 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 114e is such a popular instrument for live performance. From fingerpicking to strumming, the 114e Grand Auditorium is a great choice for nearly every playing style.
Unique tonewoods
The tonewoods chosen for the 114e offer detailed tone, strong projection, and durability. The layered walnut 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 combination of maple and ebony on the neck ensures a ringing midrange with plenty of top-end detail. And the solid Sitka spruce top is one of the most popular wood choices for a powerful tone that is well balanced across the frequency range.
Taylor's Expression System 2
Taylor's Expression System 2 uses a proprietary pickup behind the saddle. The pickup's three individually calibrated, precisely positioned piezo-electric sensors respond organically to the instrument's acoustic energy as it's transferred through the saddle. In concert with Taylor's custom-designed preamp, the result is a natural acoustic sound with incredible dynamic range and responsiveness. Musiekwereld's guitar gurus are mightily impressed with Taylor's Expression System 2.
