Discover the warmth of torrefied tonewoods and a distinctive shaded finish with the Taylor 114ce Special Edition acoustic-electric guitar, available at Irvine Art and Music. Built on Taylor's popular Grand Auditorium body, this special-edition model blends comfortable playability with a tone that sounds seasoned right out of the case.

A Voice with Character

At the heart of this guitar is a torrefied solid Sitka spruce top, a wood that's heat-treated to mimic the open, mellow response of a well-aged instrument. Paired with layered sapele back and sides, the 114ce Special Edition offers a balanced voice with a touch of extra warmth in the low end, making it just as comfortable for strumming as it is for fingerstyle playing.

Plugged-In Performance

Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics use a behind-the-saddle pickup design to translate the guitar's natural acoustic voice to the stage or studio with minimal coloration. A mahogany neck with Taylor's Standard profile keeps the feel familiar and comfortable across the fretboard, whether you're playing open chords or working up the neck.

Standout Style

The Dark Tobacco Shaded Edgeburst finish gives this guitar a moody, vintage-inspired look that fades from a deep edge tone into the natural spruce top. Smoked eucalyptus is used for the fingerboard and bridge, adding subtle contrast and rounding out the guitar's distinctive appearance.
