Unique tonewoods
The tonewoods chosen for the 114ce offer detailed tone, strong projection, and durability. The sapele back and sides offer rigid construction that aids in the guitar’s pronounced tone and helps the instrument remain stable under fluctuating climate changes and rough handling. The combination of maple and ebony on the neck ensures a ringing midrange with plenty of top-end detail. Lastly, the 114ce now boasts a torrefied top made from solid Sitka spruce. Sitka spruce is a natural choice for acoustic guitar tops, and Taylor’s roasting procedure (torrefaction) enhances spruce’s resonant response while reducing weight and giving woodgrain an extra-vivid look.
