GREAT guitar

Posted by taylorforlife from greeley, CO on Jan 24, 2010

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: hobbyist

Reviewer's Play Style: anything with a guitar...

recently i was asked to play for a local church, I accepted not really thinking about my instrument. as a normally non-performing musician, i had been making due for the past 6 years with a very old and somewhat cheap guitar that simply is a beginners guitar and doesn't look or sound all that great. so on a whim i went out and bought this guitar because i had heard such great things about it. Let me just say that right out of the package it sounded absolutely amazing. The grand auditorium shape gave me those nice crisp highs as well as the warm lows that i had been craving for so long previously with such a mediocre guitar. along with the sound, the shape makes it extremely comfortable to play which sitting down which is hard to find in an acoustic. while the expression system isn't anything on par with taylors so called "professional" guitars (the 300 series and up) its by no means anything to turn up your nose at. I don't think i agree with calling this a "beginner" guitar, this sounds way better than any beginner guitar i've ever played. I promise you if you get this guitar you won't regret it at all.

Taylor 114ce

I have used this guitar for about six months now. It is easy to play and sounds very good unplugged. When it is plugged, however, it sounds a little bit unnatural. Sometimes it gives feedbacks but that problem can be solved with a soundhole cover. The ES-T pickup system isn't really like the famous ES system on the 300 series and higher. However this is my opinion, and if you like this unnatural sound, this is for you. I play alot of strumming so this isn't for me. I decided to replace the pickup with the LR Baggs iMix. LR Baggs iBeam would be good too. If you want to get this guitar but strum alot, replace the pickup or buy the acoustic version and install the pickup.

I have been in the market for a new acoustic/electric for a while. I saw a bunch I thought I liked but nothing really grabbed me until I played this taylor 114ce. I can't believe the quality of this instrument. I have only had it for two days so the shock has not worn off yet. The sound is so perfect. Playability is hot-knife-thru-butter. Looks great. I played a Martin in its same weight class and the taylor blew it out of the water. Don't believe me? Pick one up and you will. This guitar is amazing. I am a little taken back that it is being advertised as a beginner guitar. I have been finger pickin and writing music for seventeen years. This is not a beginner guitar. This is the sweetest guitar I have ever owned. I didn't know that you could own a guitar that sounds and plays just as good as a higher-end model just because it is satin finish with no frills. I'm a nuts and bolts kind of guy. Don't need gloss (cause natural is prettier anyway,in my opinion)and don't need all the extra cosmetic crap. Just an awesome guitar that plays and sounds like a 2000.00 instrument for less than a grand. I'm not kidding. You must play it to believe it. I can't put it down. My fingers are about to fall off.

GOOD guitar made in mexico

this guitar is good i stress the good not great. i bought it had it for about 2 years. dont get me wrong its my baby but.. the bad not good action on it at all. even when you adjust it it still sits high up towards the sound hole and i had it professionally done. the pickup system in it is undersaddle which is not great. if you turn it way down its not horrible but turn the volume up it sounds like a toys r us guitar. THE GOOD.. has great taylor sound unplugged. stays in tune really well. good knock off of a pro series taylor. its made in mexico though you dont get made in the US till 400 series sooo keep it in mind. hope it helps
