Taylor 110ce-S Dreadnought Electro Acoustic

Full Description

Instantly recognisable Dreadnought body

This traditional structure is renowned for its deep lows and crisp highs, which are more evenly balanced across the entire tonal spectrum. The Dreadnought body shape is specifically designed to accommodate an aggressive picking attack, making it ideal for pickers and strummers who favour powerful and articulate sound output. It retains the essence of the balanced Taylor sound, delivering a robust voice characterised by low-end power, a snappy midrange, and strong, clear treble notes. Notably, this body shape has been linked with roots music like bluegrass and folk due to its defining role in shaping those sounds. Thus, the Taylor 110ce-S caters to lovers of traditional guitar shapes and tones, offering clear lead lines and crisp, driving rhythms without the low end getting "muddy".

Reliable for any climate

The layered Sapele wood used in the construction of the Taylor 110ce-S guitar's back and sides offers a harmonious balance of aesthetic appeal and climate resilience, producing commendable sound quality while providing enhanced durability, affordability, and adaptability to varying humidity conditions.

Projection and tone

Hailing from Canada, Sitka spruce sets the bar high as the premier tonewood of contemporary times, being utilized in approximately 85-90 of all guitars produced by Taylor. The inherent properties of strength and elasticity in Sitka spruce contribute to a wide dynamic range, enabling clear and precise articulation. This makes it equally suitable for various playing techniques, from vigorous strumming and flatpicking to delicate fingerpicking. Bob Taylor himself endorses Sitka spruce as his preferred choice for crafting an all-around exceptional guitar. Therefore, the use of a solid Sitka spruce top in the Taylor 110ce-S guitar ensures not only optimal sound production but also accommodates an array of musical styles, reinforcing the instrument's reliability and performance among musicians.

Electronics with a breakthrough design

Get professional quality with ES2 electronics. This special design features an innovative behind-the-saddle construction that picks up the Taylor 110ce-S's natural dynamic properties. And delivers them beautifully. This is thanks to the Expression System 2 which features three pickup sensors. The location of these sensors enables more acoustic dynamics to be captured - resulting in an exceptional amplified tone, and a superior response to each nuance of your individual style.

A breakthrough design. And it's here to take your live performance to the next level. The Expression System 2 combined with Taylor's 'professional audio' preamp allows you to simply plug into an amplifier, PA system, or directly into recording software. This system faithfully captures the natural dynamics and sparkle. You can also tweak your tone by playing around with a trio of soft-touch rotary buttons. Making it easy to find your signature sound, and develop your true persona. High-fidelity in every way, this is professional quality in a more affordable Taylor package.

Effortless playability

The Taylor 110ce-S employs a Venetian cutaway, renowned for its soft, rounded lines that contribute to both the aesthetic and functional value of the guitar. This distinct curvature of the cutaway presents a varying slope that is influenced by the shape of the guitar body. This Venetian cutaway design doesn't merely add to the visual charm of the guitar; it significantly boosts playability by providing easier access to the upper frets, thereby enabling players to navigate a wider range of notes. Furthermore, the softer lines of the cutaway enhance the comfort factor, making the guitar a pleasure to hold and play.
