Overview

Offering the accommodating feel and vibrant sound of a full-size, standard-scale cutaway Grand Auditorium, the Taylor 14ce delivers great value for players in earch of a versatile, reliable acoustic-electric. Layered African sapele back and sides paired with a solid torrefied spruce top produce a clear, articulate voice with impressive projection and a touch of sweetness, thanks to our special roasting process that adds warmth and maturity to the tone. Cantilevered V-Class voicing architecture inside the guitar enhances the sustain, volume and low-end response, while a slender, heelless maple neck delivers familiar Taylor playability. Minimalist appointments like a matte finish, 4mm dot inlays and faux-tortoiseshell pickguard add to the 14ce’s understated visual appeal. It ships in a gig bag with an onboard Fishman Sonitone GT-2 pickup for amplified play across a wide range of musical settings.

• Solid torrefied spruce top for projection and warmth
• Versatile, comfortable Grand Auditorium body shape
• Taylor neck for smooth playability
• Features Fishman Sonitone GT-2 pickup for plugged-in play
• Includes gig bag for storage and transport
• Made in Tecate, Mexico

The Taylor 14ce Grand Auditorium is the most affordable full-size acoustic-electric in Taylor’s lineup, offering a solid torrefied spruce top and layered sapele back and sides for classic Taylor tone at a budget-friendly price. Compared to the 114ce, it has simpler appointments, a basic heel neck joint, minimal binding, and a sound-hole mounted Fishman Sonitone GT-2 instead of the higher-end ES2 electronics. While it delivers reliable playability and stage-ready sound, it trades the refined finish and upgraded hardware of the 114ce for accessibility. This makes the 14ce the perfect entry point for players seeking Taylor quality without the premium cost.
