Every time I play this guitar I discover something different. For example finger picking is rich and angelic. Strumming on the high strings are bright and zingy. Thumbs on E and A really pull the real deep end out of this beauty. The neck is very sexy I just have to remember light barre chords; don't "CRUSH" it. Fingers last longer. I am Sooo glad I have this guitar. I had Junk as a 15 yo kid. Now 64 retired I played every Guitar Center guitar they had $3500 Martins $4000 Taylors, $3000 Gibsons and The Taylor bigger brother 110e Dreadnought. I liked this 114e the best for the money through an amp. The 114 is smaller and easier to hold under your arm than the bigger body Dreadnaught 110. Surprisingly the 114 has a slight deeper A and E string than the 110. I'm not sure why. Probably the scalloped X bracing. The 214ce is nearly $300 more with a "slight" deeper tone. To get the real angelic rich tones one must try the $3400 Martin or the unbelievable rich "mommy save me" $3500-$4600 12 fret Taylor 512 or 712. The Guitar Center dude said ANY Martin or Taylor under $1000 is made in Mexico. Taylor says the Taylor 100-200 series Sapele body wood is less impervious to temperature changes and has a Rosewood fretboard. The $1400 Martin has a composite paper glue fretboard but prolly just as good and mahogany sides. LOL Just sayin, but it drinks as good as a Dixie cup when you are thirsty.Read full review

I recently purchased a Taylor 114e, about 13 years old, and it has lived up to not only the Taylor name, but to my expectations of the brand, as well. It has a very rich sound, excellent for the combined, finger picking modified rhythms I play behind my singing, and has wonderful projection, across the range, from bass to midrange to treble. The electronics are also very good, allowing for lugging in this "unplugged" guitar and sharing trhe full sound over a house P.A. I have owned a Martin D1 since about 1992, and thoroughly enjoy ts sound; this guitar is wonderful compliment to it, and if I could only figure out a way to play them both, at once...I would definitely buy another Taylor, and am happy to find that even at this "low end" range of their models the instrument has a wonderful sound, that frankly, is very much worth the price as well as providing extremely good "bang for the buck," new. The auction price, added to thirteen years of seasoning makes this a wonderful purchase.Read full review
A work of art. The sound is amazing... Let my instructor who has been playing since he was kid play it and he couldn't put it down. He said it sounded beautiful and was shocked to hear how much I got it for. Just absolutely amazing guitar. Can't be happier w/ the purchase. Thank you so much for an easy buying experience as well!! A++ on everything!!

Excellent sound quality, crisp, clean, really projects, an awesome value for the the buck. Stays in tune. Smaller neck size makes it easier to play for small/medium hands. Sounds great with or without an amp. Aesthetically a good looking Grand Auditorium guitar.
