Taylor 14ce Grand Auditorium

Full Description

Torrefied spruce top with layered sapele back and sides

At the heart of the 14ce is a solid torrefied spruce top, carefully roasted to add warmth and depth to its natural clarity. This process gives the guitar a more open, played-in sound right from day one, enhancing its responsiveness across a wide dynamic range. Paired with layered sapele back and sides, the 14ce delivers a focused midrange and shimmering top-end sparkle that works beautifully for strumming, flatpicking, or fingerstyle.

Signature Taylor comfort and cutaway access

The 14ce features Taylor’s iconic Grand Auditorium shape — a versatile, full-sized body that’s equally suited to light touch playing and more percussive styles. With its slim waist and contoured edges, it’s comfortable to hold whether you're on stage or sitting at home. The Venetian cutaway adds smooth access to the upper frets, while the maple neck’s slim carve and matte finish make extended playing sessions feel effortless.

Enhanced tone with V-Class voicing architecture

Inside, Taylor’s innovative cantilevered V-Class voicing architecture brings a new dimension to the guitar’s tone. By balancing rigidity and flexibility across the top, this internal design improves sustain, boosts volume, and refines the harmonic resonance between notes. The result is a more dynamic, in-tune playing experience — one that feels alive, balanced, and harmonically rich.

Onboard electronics and a reliable gig bag

Ready for the stage or the studio, the 14ce comes equipped with a Fishman Sonitone GT-2 pickup system. With simple, soundhole-mounted controls for tone and volume, you get a clear, natural amplified sound without cluttering the body. It also ships with a structured gig bag — lightweight yet protective, and ideal for keeping your guitar safe while travelling, commuting, or heading to rehearsal.
