Taylor 110ce Acoustic-Electric Guitar
The Taylor 110ce is a classic Dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar built to deliver big, bold Taylor sound at an accessible price. It pairs a solid torrefied spruce top with layered sapele back and sides for a rich sonic punch, plus a Venetian cutaway for easy fretboard access and built-in Expression System 2 electronics for clean, natural amplified tone. A soft gig bag is included at no extra cost. Town Center Music sells every 110ce fully set up and ready to play, backed by our status as an authorized Taylor Warranty Center.
Body Design and Tone
The 110ce is built on Taylor's classic square-shoulder Dreadnought body, a shape prized for rich low end, punchy mids, and clear trebles — the sound most players picture when they think "acoustic guitar." Paired with C-Class bracing, the body is voiced for volume and projection, making the 110ce equally comfortable in a quiet practice session or a full-band mix.
Torrefied Spruce Top
Taylor's torrefied spruce top goes through a special roasting process that delivers the clarity, balance, and projection of a traditional spruce top with extra warmth and a played-in depth usually associated with much older guitars.
Layered Sapele Back and Sides
Layered sapele construction keeps the 110ce durable and affordable without sacrificing looks, giving the guitar an attractive, classic appearance that can handle life on the road, in a gig bag, or on tour with a beginner still learning to handle their instrument.
Playability and Design Details
A Venetian cutaway, known for its soft, rounded lines, opens up easy access to the fretboard's upper register. The neck is finished in mahogany or maple with a slender, comfortable profile for relaxed fretting, topped with an ebony or eucalyptus fretboard, 4mm dot inlays, and a 25-1/2" scale length. A Tusq nut and Micarta saddle round out a setup built for easy playability, whether you're a first-time player or a working musician who wants a reliable backup.
Electronics and Included Gig Bag
Built-in Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics use a breakthrough behind-the-saddle pickup design to capture more of the guitar's natural dynamics than a standard undersaddle pickup, giving the 110ce an authentic, detailed plugged-in tone at open mics, worship services, or small stages. The 110ce ships with a lightweight, protective gig bag at no additional cost, so you have everything you need to get out the door and playing.
