Pre Loved Taylor 614ce Electro Acoustic Guitar inc Hard Case

This pre loved Taylor 614ce (2003) is a high-end acoustic-electric guitar made by Taylor Guitars as part of the company’s 600 Series. It’s known for its maple construction, modern design, and extremely clear, articulate tone. It is in excellent condition with just some tarnishing on the machineheads. All marks that appear on the top are not chips or dings but are naturally occurring patterns in the wood.

Overview

• Type: Acoustic-electric steel-string guitar

• Body shape: Grand Auditorium with cutaway

• Strings: 6

• Made in: United States

• Series: Taylor 600 Series

The “ce” in the model name stands for cutaway + electronics, meaning it has a cutaway body for upper-fret access and built-in pickup electronics for amplification. 

Construction & Materials

Typical specifications include:

• Top: Torrefied Sitka spruce

• Back & sides: Solid Big Leaf maple

• Neck: Mahogany or hard rock maple

• Fingerboard & bridge: Ebony

• Scale length: 25.5 inches

• Nut width: 1.75 inches

• Frets: 20

The torrefied (roasted) spruce top is treated to mimic the sound of an older, “played-in” guitar, adding warmth and responsiveness. 

Body Design

The guitar uses Taylor’s Grand Auditorium body shape, which is a medium-sized design intended to work well for both strumming and fingerstyle playing. 

Common design features:

• Venetian cutaway for high-fret access

• V-Class bracing for better sustain, volume, and intonation

• Gloss or satin finish with a “Brown Sugar” maple stain on many models

• Deluxe hardshell case included

V-Class bracing is Taylor’s modern internal bracing pattern designed to improve sustain and note consistency across the fretboard. 

Electronics

The guitar comes with Expression System electronics.

Features include:

• Behind-the-saddle pickup sensors

• Volume, bass, and treble controls

• Natural amplified acoustic tone

This system is designed to capture more of the guitar’s natural dynamics when plugged into an amp or PA.

Sound Characteristics

Because of the maple body, the 614ce has a distinctive tonal character:

• Very clear and articulate

• Strong note separation

• Bright, balanced highs

• Tight, controlled bass

Maple is known for its “transparent” tone, meaning it reflects the player’s technique clearly rather than adding heavy coloration

Summary:
The Taylor 614ce is a premium American-made acoustic-electric guitar featuring a maple body, torrefied spruce top, Grand Auditorium shape and ES electronics. It’s prized for its clarity, playability, and versatility across styles like fingerstyle, pop, and modern acoustic music
