Taylor 114ce Natural Satin 2012 Electro Acoustic Guitar

Here for sale we have a Taylor 114ce Electro Acoustic Guitar in Satin Natural finish. Made in Mexico in 2012, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising Layered Sapele back & sides, Solid Sitka Spruce top, Tropical Mahogany neck and 20 fret Ebony fingerboard with matching bridge. A Tusq saddle and nut are fitted, along with a set of Chrome Taylor sealed tuning machines. A Taylor EST behind-the-saddle transducer pickup is installed and is wired to the shoulder-mounted EST controls for master volume, treble and bass. The Mahogany neck plays very well, with Taylor's neck profile filling the hand nicely for a smooth and responsive playing experience across the register. The profile might be described as a moderately-sized 'C' shape, well suited to a wide range of playing styles and genres. The Ebony of the fingerboard is dark in appearance, and with a nice tight grain adds a sense of luxury to the playing experience. The traditional 16" radius is practical for both melodic and chordal playing styles, whilst the smooth lines of the Grand Auditorium body are comfortable in both standing and seated positions. The acoustic voice of the Taylor 114ce is rich and well balanced, and is well suited to a wide range of genres and playing styles. The Solid Sitka Spruce top projects very well, and provides a wide, sensitive dynamic range. The Layered Sapele back and sides add some depth and character to the sound, whilst the Grand Auditorium body design strikes a perfect balance between open and airy strummed chords and precision for fingerstyle and melodic lines. The Taylor EST faithfully conveys the acoustic voice of the instrument, adding the versatility required for both live and recording situations.
