Your First Serious Guitar — or Your Next OneThe Taylor 110ce is the guitar we recommend more than almost any other when someone walks into The Pied Piper Music Store and says they are ready to get serious. We have it at both of our locations, in New Albany, Ohio just outside Columbus and in Charleston, West Virginia, and whether you are a beginner stepping up to a real instrument or an experienced player looking for a reliable acoustic electric that just works, this guitar delivers.What Makes the 110ce Special at This PriceThe solid Sitka spruce top is the most important thing to understand about this guitar. A lot of acoustic guitars at this price point use laminate tops, which look fine but do not open up and improve with age the way solid wood does. The 110ce has a real solid spruce top, which means it sounds good now and will sound even better in five years as it breaks in. That is a meaningful difference and one of the main reasons Taylor has such a loyal following among players who know what to look for.The layered walnut back and sides add warmth and projection to the overall voice, and the dreadnought body shape gives you the full, powerful sound that works equally well for strumming, flatpicking, and singer songwriter playing. The Venetian cutaway keeps the upper frets accessible for lead work, and the ebony fingerboard on the tropical mahogany neck is smooth and responsive in a way that makes playing feel effortless.ES2 Electronics That Actually Sound Like Your GuitarTaylor's Expression System 2 is one of the most trusted acoustic pickup systems on the market. The behind the saddle placement captures the guitar's natural voice rather than a thin, processed version of it. Plug it into an acoustic amp or a PA and it sounds like your guitar in the room, which is exactly what you want. For beginners this means you can start performing live without fighting your electronics. For experienced players it means you can trust it on any stage.Come Play It at Either LocationWe are real musicians at The Pied Piper, and when you come in to try the 110ce we will make sure you have the time and space to actually hear what it can do. Find us in New Albany, OH or Charleston, WV. If you are shopping from home, we offer free shipping anywhere in the continental US, and local customers at either store can choose in store pickup at checkout.Specs at a Glance Body: Dreadnought with Venetian cutaway Top: Solid Sitka spruce Back and Sides: Layered walnut Neck: Tropical mahogany Fingerboard: Ebony Electronics: Taylor ES2 Expression System 2 Made in: USA SKU: 110ce
