The 114ce-S Sapele Lefthand is a fantastic entry point into the Taylor world for left-handed players. The solid top gives it a richer sound than many guitars in its class, and the Expression System 2 makes it stage-ready. It's a well-built, versatile instrument ideal for singer-songwriters and gigging musicians who want quality without premium-priced investment.

  • • C-Class bracing enhances resonance and provides comfortable playability for lefties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Torrefaction simulates aging, giving the top a warmer, more open tone with reduced stiffness, resulting in a more mature sound right out of the box.
It’s surprisingly good for both; while optimized for live use, it captures a very natural acoustic tone that works well in studio settings with minimal EQ.
The Sapele will offer a slightly more forward and articulate tone with a bit more sustain compared to the warmer, more mellow sound of mahogany.
