The Taylor 114e has everything a budding guitar player could need, plus rich tone and a relaxed feel that will appeal to experienced players as well as new learners. A solid top produces plenty of volume and projection with the clarity and articulation that makes spruce the ideal top wood for acoustic guitars. The 114e sits easily in your lap or hands, thanks to the comfortable waist of the Grand Auditorium body shape and a slender neck profile that makes holding chords easier for less experienced players. Add in the included ES2 pickup and gig bag and you have a guitar that's ready for any scenario, from lessons to open mic nights and beyond.
