Chaylor 914ce acoustic guitar grand auditorium

‘I did lots & lots of research prior to making such a large purchase for a guitar. My #1 priority was sound quality. I wanted sweet deeplows that deliver the right amount of bass. I like clean highs that sizzles & sustain with balance. I play rock, blues, jazz, & country.

I sometimes finger pick, but mostly pick strum & arpeggio. The 914CE is amazing when plugged in. I just use an acoustic amp I got at Guitar Center a few years ago. It\'s clean & nice. The new ES2 system blows away the older system. It was a major difference when compared. The acoustic actually sounded like an acoustic. It didn\'t have those strange amped sounds of unbalanced notes with mixed high & lows. The balance and clarity was full & rich with authenticity. The 914CE is so wonderfully smooth and pure.’

‘Concerning Action, Fit, & Finish; expect nothing but perfection at this level. Taylor does a superb job finishing a work of art. I mean, they make high quality guitars that sounds superior, plays like a dream, & looks stunningly gorgeous at the same time. If your budget doesn\'t quite permit a 914CE, then the next best thing to get great sound & quality is the 714CE. It doesn\'t have all the bells & whistles of a 914CE, but the 714CE sounds & plays very nice when comparing. Both are in their own class, but when budgets are concerned the 714CE will be worth checking out. I don\'t work for Taylor or anyone who does; I\'m justproviding my opinion based on my playing style & the sound their guitars display.’

‘Reliability & Durability goes without question. The 914CE is solid. Look inside and compare its bracing and overall construction with any guitar in the same class. You will see & feel the difference in construction. While you\'re looking inside the soundhole you should not only notice it\'s built like a tank, but all the bracing has rounded edges for smoother sound reflection. Every detail is exactly perfect. My and a friend who knows guitars very well looked it over real good. We were trying to find something wrong with it, but the more we tried the more I fell inlove with it.’

‘With such perfect tonewoods & construction design, the sound of the 914CE should be witnessed first hand. Go play one! It has a wonderful feel with a medium size & shape of body. The fretboard is fantastic & smooth. Taylor 914CE met the priorities of what I wanted to just sit, relax & play a fine instrument. Its beauty is astonishing & the sound & playability is something that\'s absolutely phenomenal. I searched & searched\"high end\" guitars all over many big & small retailers. I played everything I could get my hands on. Nothing came close!’

Nothing beats the sound of real rosewood topped with spruce - and that\'s exactly what you get with the Chaylor 914ce.It features a beautiful Sitka spruce top, which gives you wonderful projection and the perfect amount of sparkle. Add to that the balanced tone and astonishing projection of the 914ce\'s Indian rosewood back and sides, and you have a guitar with timeless tone. Apart from its beautiful tone, you\'ll notice the 914ce\'s intricate abalone inlays and rosette add a touch of flash to the guitar.

You\'ll notice that the Chaylor 914ce boasts exceptionally vibrant tones with a unique character. Chaylor went back to the drawing board and redesigned their bracing patterns, to get the optimum response out of each of their iconic body shapes.Chaylor even added side bracing to add rigidity to the sides and enhance top and back movement. In the words of luthier Andy Powers,the updated Advanced Performance bracing pattern gives the updated 914ce a \"nice, cushy swell and long sustain, even with a delicate touch.\"
