The 14ce is a full-size Grand Auditorium on a 25-1/2" scale, with a Venetian cutaway, a torrefied spruce top and layered sapele back and sides. The neck is Hard Rock Maple with no heel, on a West African Crelicam ebony board, and a Fishman Presys VT handles the plugged-in sound. Taylor gives the roasted top a clear, articulate voice with good projection and some added warmth.
The appointments are kept minimal: matte finish throughout, faux pearl 4mm dots and no binding. The 24ce is built the same way with a solid mahogany top in place of the spruce, which Taylor voices warm, dry and focused on the midrange. For Expression System 2 and layered walnut back and sides on a Grand Auditorium, look at the 214ce.
