Taylor - 114ce + Housse

There are guitars that stand out as faithful road companions, and the 114ce is undeniably part of this category. With its Grand Auditorium body, it manages to combine playing comfort and balanced projection, offering a harmonious, precise sound spectrum without unnecessary frills. Its mahogany or maple neck, with a thin and ergonomic profile, ensures an immediate and natural grip, while the ebony or eucalyptus fingerboard is the setting for a fluid and pleasant touch. No matter the musical register tackled, it responds with exemplary flexibility, adapting as well to delicate arpeggios as to energetic rhythms.

Where some guitars hide their potential behind a too flashy varnish, the 114ce focuses on authenticity and efficiency. The steamed spruce of its top is not just an aesthetic argument: it gives the instrument a sonic maturity that evokes years of playing, with full bass, articulate mids and crystalline highs. This alchemy is amplified by the Expression System 2, which delicately captures every nuance of the interpretation. Played acoustically or plugged in, it reveals an expressive, responsive and always balanced sound, without requiring complicated adjustments.

When it comes to accessibility, Taylor does not do things by halves: the Venetian cut of this 114ce offers natural access to the highest frets, allowing adventurous guitarists to explore the heights without the slightest constraint. And because it would be a shame to see such a guitar poorly protected, it comes in a sturdy semi-rigid case, ready to withstand the hazards of travel.
