Manufacturer's Description for Taylor 714CE Grand Auditorium Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar (with Case)

A Fingerstyle Workhorse
Combining the full-bodied sound of Indian rosewood with the responsiveness of a Western Red cedar top creates this fingerstyle workhorse. Equipped with the Taylor Expression System and cutaway, this Grand Auditorium guitar shines in any venue.

Get more Definition
The Grand Auditorium combines the width and depth of a Dreadnought with a narrower waist. Its sleek design yields a strong treble zing across the tonal spectrum and sharpens the definition of individual notes. The Grand Auditorium is a strong fingerpicking guitar that also adapts well to medium strumming.

Taylor Expression System
Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone, the Expression System utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors to capture top and string vibration like never before. Created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer, Mr. Rupert Neve, the Taylor ES is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.

Fit and Finish
The finish used to create this guitar's lustrous gloss top, back, and sides was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Taylor products.

5 out of 5 (32 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "If You're a player, you'll love this guitar. Well worth the cost!"
Sound: Sounds like I have a mini amp inside the guitar. Really has a big sound acousticly. Pluged in, it is overwhelming. Beatiful rich tones you can feel the guitar resonate through your body. The most outstanding guitar I have ever owned. I just bought a 814ce. Feature: The Fishman is really a nice feature for rythm guitar players and acoustic leads. You can alter your sound with ease. I like it! Quality: Taylor says it all craftsmanship and sound outstanding. Value: The older it gets the better tones the the wood will produce making the guitar more valuble. A good investment! at least I tell my wife that! Manufacturer Support: The Taylor guitar company has been very responsive and easy to work with. The Wow Factor: Played Martins (very nice guitars) Played Gibsons. But play a Taylor and you will lust to won it. Hardly a day goes by that I don't pick her up and caress her. When my wife complains that I hold that guitar more then I do her. I know I have been playing too long! Overall: Yesterday I bought a 814ce. I like these guitars. They make you wanna play better.
Style of Music: Contempory Christian

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "CREAM OF THE CROP!"
Sound: First, the sound is truly amazing, I read everyone elses reviews and i'm not trying to follow suit, but this is a great sounding guitar! I slowly graduated from one taylor to the next and I have to say they blow away the competition. I have played Gibson, Martin, and a wide variety of high end guitars and still found that this sounds the best. The action is fantastic and is easy to play right out of the box Feature: Expression system has come a long way, and I believe they have it down pat! Plugged in the sound is amazing, keeping the real tones that resonate, and unplugged, just as great. This is the real deal. Ease of Use: easy on the fingers, the action on this guitar is hands down the best I have played. Quality: Top notch quality! IT"S A TAYLOR! The woods used make the sound of the guitar outstanding! Other companies (Martin) are moving away from woods and using more composite...NOT GOOD!
