About Taylor 114 Acoustic Guitars

Taylor 114 Acoustic Guitars are part of Taylor’s entry-level 100 series. The Taylor 114 features a grand auditorium body shape with venetian cutaway, featuring a sapele back and sides with a torrified spruce top wood. The slender Taylor neck features a standard carve profile, for effortless playability suited to any playing style. The 114 features an expression system 2 acoustic guitar pickup and pre-amp, perfect for jamming with other musicians at a louder volume or playing shows, giving an authentic plugged-in tone. C class bracing provides this acoustic guitar with longer sustain, and a greater lower end presence whilst Taylor’s signature roasting guitar recipe gives the feel of a played-in guitar.

Much more than an entry level guitar, the Taylor 114 is a Grand Auditorium sized acoustic made with a Spruce top and layered Walnut for the body. Unlike the electro acoustic model, the 114ce Series, the Taylor 114 is a pure acoustic so there is no pickup and no cutaway in the body. This is great for players who want excellent tones and a symmetrical look. The 100 series from Taylor represents great value for money.

A selection of our Taylor 114 guitars come included with a guitar gig bag.

Frequently Asked Questions about Taylor 114 Guitars

Question: Is Taylor 114 a good guitar?
Yes, the Taylor 114 is a great choice for players looking for an entry level acoustic that will be with them as they progress their skills. The easy playing Taylor neck makes for exceptional playability, perfect for guitarists of all skill levels.
Question: Where are the Taylor 114 guitars built?
The Taylor 114 guitars are built in Mexico. Taylor own a factory in Tecate where all of their 100 series guitars are made, along with the GS Mini range, the Baby range and the 200 series.
Question: Who plays a Taylor 114 guitar?
The 114ce is an ideal guitar for guitarists looking for a quality acoustic guitar made by one of the world’s leading acoustic guitar brands. The expression system 2 allows for this guitar to be played at a louder volume, perfect for jamming with other musicians and on-stage.
Question: What is the difference between a Taylor 114 and a 114ce?
The 'c' and 'e' sections of the 114ce's name refers to a cutaway and the fact that it is an 'electro' model, that is, it contains a pickup. The Taylor 114 is what is known as a 'true acoustic': it has no pickup installed. Also, if you compare the shoulder area of each guitar, the 114 reveals itself to have both shoulders intact, whilst the 114ce has a cutaway: one of the shoulders is taken away to allow the player to reach the high up registers of frets. The Taylor 114, therefore, is a true acoustic with no cutaway and a beautiful symmetrical look.
Question: What is the difference between a Taylor 114 and 214?
There are many differences between the Taylor 114ce and 214ce. The 114ce features a satin/matte top finish, whereas the 214ce features a gloss finish. The back and sides materials are also different, the 114ce is built with Sapele back and sides, and the 214ce is constructed with layered walnut.
Question: What does 'layered Walnut' mean?
Layered Walnut refers to multiple thin veneers of Walnut wood being glued together to form a strong, bendable, cost-effective material to build with. Taylor use layered Walnut on their 100 series guitars, to which solid timbered tops are attached. Most of a guitar's tone comes from the top and the bracing so this is an intelligent compromise to keep down costs and also offer a strong guitar that has good temperature-resistant qualities.
Question: What does the 'NT neck' mean?
The NT neck is Taylor's innovative technique for producing an extremely efficient fit from neck to body. The neck pocket is laser cut for a perfectly stable fit that will last for the lifetime of the instrument.
