Expression System 2 Provides Studio-Quality Amplification

The Expression System 2 is a breakthrough in acoustic amplification, faithfully conveying the 114e's nuanced tone. Three discreet pickup sensors are positioned behind the saddle, each calibrated to capture the guitar's acoustic potential. The sensors' placement allows the saddle to have full contact with the bridge, enabling the amplification of tone that would be lost in traditional under-saddle pickups. Coupled with Taylor's custom preamp, the Expression System 2 produces a dynamic range ideal for any venue��from intimate coffee shops to concert halls.

Premium Tonewoods Balance Warmth and Clarity

The 114e features a solid Sitka spruce top, prized for its broad dynamic range and crisp articulation. Layered walnut back and sides provide a stable, responsive platform for the top's tonal nuance. Together, these premium tonewoods yield a balanced acoustic voice with shimmering highs, tight lows and a focused midrange.

Sleek Body Shape Delivers Comfort and Projection

Taylor's Grand Auditorium body shape provides an ideal ergonomic experience for developing and professional players alike. Its narrowed waist offers comfort and playability, while tapered shoulders help project sound. The Grand Auditorium's balanced, versatile response suits an array of musical styles, from delicate fingerpicking to energetic strumming.

Fast, Low-Action Neck and Eco-Friendly Case

The 114e features Taylor's fast, low-action neck, inviting effortless fretting across the 22-fret ebony fingerboard. An eco-friendly 600-denier nylon gig bag is included for safe transport and storage. As sustainably designed as it is tonally inspiring, the 114e is an investment destined to accelerate any guitarist's artistic journey.
