Taylor 14ce Sapele
Serial Number: 2206046326
Weight: 4.26 lbs.
The Taylor 14ce in Natural delivers the full-size Grand Auditorium experience — vibrant tone, comfortable feel, and stage-ready electronics — at a price that makes it one of the best values in the acoustic-electric world. A solid torrefied spruce top brings a clear, articulate voice with a touch of played-in warmth and maturity, courtesy of Taylor's roasting process, while layered African sapele back and sides add resilience and projection. Inside, Taylor's cantilevered V-Class voicing architecture boosts sustain, volume, and low-end response, giving this 4.26 lbs. Grand Auditorium a bigger voice than its price tag suggests. A cutaway body, understated matte natural finish, faux pearl 4mm dot inlays, and a classy faux-tortoiseshell pickguard complete the minimalist aesthetic.
Playability is classic Taylor. The hard rock maple neck features a slender Standard profile with a smooth matte finish and Taylor's modern heelless bolt-on design for easy upper-fret access and simple serviceability. A West African Crelicam ebony fretboard with 15" radius, 20 frets, 25.5" scale length, and 1 11/16" White NuBone nut makes chording, fingerpicking, and lead work equally effortless, while die-cast chrome tuners and an ebony bridge with NuBone saddle keep tuning and intonation dialed in.
Plugged in, the onboard Fishman Presys VT pickup system delivers reliable amplified tone with simple volume and tone control — perfect for open mics, worship settings, and gigging singer-songwriters who need a dependable acoustic-electric that sounds great in any mix. Whether you're stepping up from a beginner guitar or adding a workhorse Taylor to your collection, this 14ce Sapele (Serial #2206046326) ships in a Taylor gig bag.
