14ce
Taylor’s most affordable full-size guitar features a solid torrefied spruce top and a Fishman pickup.
This model offers exceptional value for budget-conscious musicians who crave the inspiring playability and balanced tone of a standard-scale Taylor guitar. It boasts the popular cutaway Grand Auditorium body—beloved for its refined physical proportions and versatile musical personality—along with a solid-wood top and layered African sapele back and sides.
Crafted with a solid torrefied spruce top for projection and clarity, the 14ce introduces Taylor’s best-ever price point for a full-size guitar. The signature roasting recipe for the soundboard slightly darkens the wood while serving up a sweeter, played-in sound.
Inside, cantilevered V-Class bracing architecture enhances the volume, sustain and intonation. A slender, heelless maple Taylor neck ensures silky-smooth playability up and down the solid ebony fingerboard.
The 14ce showcases a clean visual aesthetic with 4mm dot inlays in Italian acrylic, a single-ring black rosette, a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, chrome tuning machines and a matte finish. It comes equipped with Fishman Sonitone GT-2 acoustic electronics with a soundhole-mounted preamp that features tone and volume controls. The guitar ships in a Taylor gig bag.
