114ce Grand Auditorium Walnut/Spruce Acoustic Electric Guitar w/Gigbag
Additional Photos:
This cutaway acoustic/electric Grand Auditorium blends layered walnut back and sides with a solid Sitka spruce top, making it a great all-around acoustic that responds well to strumming, flatpicking and fingerpicking. With the patented Taylor neck, you'll enjoy easy playability and accurate intonation as long as you own the guitar, and the slightly narrower 1-11/16-inch nut width makes forming barre chords easier on the hands. The Venetian cutaway gives you access to more upper-end fretboard real estate, while Taylor's dynamic Expression System 2 pickup produces a natural amplified acoustic voice that will help you sound your best whenever you plug in. The clean appointment scheme includes Italian acrylic dot fretboard inlays, a 3-ring rosette, plus black binding and a black pickguard that complement the look of the genuine ebony fretboard and bridge. The guitar includes a lightweight protective gig bag for easy portability.

After having had the 114ce for a little over 2 years, I am very happy with it.
Its suits my style of playing and I find it easy to play. To date, it has required no adjustments - the action is fine. It would have been nice to have a tuner built in but that's not a priority for me. Labels on the knobs would help too as I seem to forget which is which....

Really great guitar..I had the 410, the 214 in the past and the 110 4 years ago. The new 114ce is a huge step forward. They changed something, there is a solid bass now, not just jingle jangle like the older 100 and 200 series. Much more balanced. More bass and pronounced mids than my J45 Gibson. Tuners are very stable. ES2 is not the best system but anyone who is serious will put it through a Fishman Aura. Not many stock pickups are much good, at the least they need the TC Helicion Body Rez to firm them up. No biggie. The action is superb, the tension is a bit high, good with Elixirs, u do need them to bring the best out. Overall, best value for the money at this range. Not a HUGE improvement to spend $4K to hit the 800 series....this guitar is better than the Larivee D2...nothing close to it for under $2K now.

Well, compared to the less expensive guitars I have it's easily the best one. I know it's not solid wood all around but it sounds great. When I listen to this guitar compared to far more expensive guitars I can barely hear the difference typically and certainly not enough to justify (to my wife) spending several hundred to thousands more. It's supposed to be an "entry level" guitar but I can't see myself ever "needing" anything better on my couch. The action was a little high for me out of the box but it was easily adjusted and may be fine for others.
Pros: sounds great, looks good. feels good.
Cons: annoying that there's no built in tuner and no labels on the vol. treb. bass. dials

Bought this guitar 5 years ago and have never had any urge to replace it as my #1. It plays amazing, and in 5 years has only needed one minor adjustment to the truss rod. Very stable. Sounds amazing on it's own or with a band. I gave it 4.5/5 on "Features" only because I wish Taylor put an onboard tuner on these. But I do love the clean look of the controls.

I got my first guitar at Steve's on my twentieth birthday...sorry L&M. Three decades and several acoustic guitars later, I picked up a 114CE L&M (of course) and I love it. It fit my budget and I feel like I went from a mediocre hack to a budding bluesman almost overnight...Thanks Taylor!

I've had this for a almost a month and now feel like I can give a review. I also have a 2011 with sapele back and sides to compare it against. They look very different but both look really nice. The 17 has walnut back and sides but also a micarta saddle as opposed to tusq. It sounded noticeably better from the first strum. I wondered if it could be the strings that could account for that or the saddle, or is it mostly the walnut. So I eliminated the saddle by putting in a tusq saddle. I found no noticeable difference. The strings on the 17 were Elixirs and the 11 had D'addario EXP's so it wasn't exactly an apples to apples comparison. So after playing both guitars a lot for the last three weeks and getting a good sense of their sound, I got the idea to swap strings. So now I have a fair comparison of these guitars. Both sets were used but in good condition and I knew how they sounded on those guitars. Both also had the same ebony bridge pins. The result was that a) the 17 is an improvement IMO and b) that the 17 sounds better with the EXP's and the 11 sounds better with the Elixirs. So that experiment was a win. The ExP's took just enough brightness out and I love the way they sound on this guitar. The top seems very lively and the notes just ring forth and sustain very well. Finger picking is really responsive and now with the EXP's, it's a great strummer too - as an auditorium should be. It seems there is some good variation in the walnut backs I have seen. Mine has a really nice, aesthetically pleasing grain and a sweet ebony veneer on the headstock with streaks of black, brown and blond.
I can't speak to the electronics because I don't use them. Overall, I really love this guitar, I think it looks, and sounds better than the previous version. Right away it reminded me of a guitar that I had set up that had a premium adirondack top and brazilian rosewood b/s. The notes just ring out of this thing.
A great guitar will generally do two things. It will make you pick it up and it will make you not want to put it down. This guitar does that for me as my sore fingers will attest.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
