With exceptional playability, rich tone and all the features a player needs for everyday musical applications, the Taylor 114ce acoustic-electric guitar offers a great value for players of all skill levels. A top of solid torrefied spruce generates a clear, balanced midrange voice with plenty of projection for all purposes, whether you're practicing at home or playing shows with other musicians. Taylor's special roasting recipe adds a touch of warmth and sweetness that you'd expect from a more mature, played-in guitar, while a tone-boosting interior bracing design dials up the response with louder volume, longer sustain and greater low-end presence. And with the slender Taylor neck profile, you're ensured easy, relaxed fretting no matter your playing style. It all adds up to a versatile experience with wide-ranging musical utility, whether it's your first guitar or the latest addition to your collection.

First off all, This guitar sounds good. But that's about it. I recently bought a Taylor 114ce from Long n Mcquade. It sounds great and plays ok as a strumming guitar. For finger picking or higher fret playability, this guitar was not user friendly, nor easily playable "out of the box". This was not what I expected from a 1100$ guitar made by reputable Taylor. I took it to Long n Mcquade to have them set it up for me. I figure if I am paying 1100$ its fair to ask the tech to set it up with a very low action and fix the awkward angle of the saddle that comes stock on this guitar resulting in a very high bass E string downward sloping across the sound hole to The treble E string. SO what we have here is about 5mm of gap between the Bass E and the fret board and about 1mm of space between the treble E and the fretboard. The Bass E and A strings were very high off the fret board out of the box and I was requesting that these two strings were lowered specifically; this being said, all the strings except the Treble E string were way to high off the fret board. Anyways I get my guitar back a day later, and the action was only lowered by maybe half a millimetre on the two strings i asked about. I really didn't even notice it. The tech filed the B and treble E string NUT slots lowering the two strings that were already the most playable and low to the fret board, further increasing the awkward string saddle angle setting the guitar out of playability. The neck of this Taylor guitar is also wonky where it meets the body, only by a little bit but enough where it affects playing sometimes. The frets are also not smooth to the neck of the guitar. When you slide your hand up and down the neck you can feel the frets sticking out. Overall, not too happy with this guitar. Especially for 1200$. Ive owned several Fenders lower models like fe1020 and cde60, as well as a Seagull Cw Mini Jumbo. They all player better. Anyways, I bought some 400grit sandpaper from Canadian tire and sanded the saddle at a very small angle to compensate for the opposing angle of strings that was now very obvious and starting to look and feel awful. I replaced the saddle and now have essentially lowered all of my strings to electric guitar level of action. The playability is fantastic, it sounds great, and it doesn't buzz. But the neck is still wonky at the joint. Disappointed in both Taylor and Long n Mcquade. This guitar gets a 6/10 rating even after it was personally set up by myself for myself. PS, I have never worked on a guitar before, I am just generally knowledgeable about this sort of thing. Long n Mcquade should hire me as a tech, Taylor should also hire me for Quality control.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
