114 - Loudest Taylor?*
I'm continually amazed by the pure volume my 114 puts out. It is easily the loudest acoustic I own.
Is this the loudest guitar Taylor makes?* Other Grand Auditoriums seem more subdued. I don't currently own a GS, but I've played lots, and they really don't come close. Anyone else surprised by the volume of their little 114? (*asterisk is for Jumbos - I know they're louder.) |

I played one at a GC and was impressed with every aspect. Volume-wise, I think my Maple GS6 might have it beat.

I remember playing a 110 a couple years back and I still remember how loud that thing was. It very much impressed me, volume-wise.

The DN8 is probably the loudest Taylor I owned/played

it could be the loudest x14, but the bigger bodies would be hard to beat...

Can't comment on the 114 per se, but I have owned several 110s and noticed the same thing about them- very loud.
My guess was that the curved laminate back really helped boost the projection. Not sure about the 114- but guessing the same thing is going on there as well.

A friend of ours has a 210e that is the loudest that I've heard. Not sure why but that thing just booms. Way louder than my 710 or GS.

I agree. My GS6 is much louder.

The only other Taylor I've compared it to is the 110, couldn't tell much difference. When I purchased it compared it against other brands and it blew them away. The curved back does make a huge difference. I like it alot.

I definitely am a believer that the arched back makes a remarkable difference in volume/projection ...

I have a 210-E and yes, it is loud. Not sure if it's any louder than my GA7 or maple 12; it certainly isn't vastly louder, if at all. But I agree with you that the 100/200 guitars are a real surprise in the volume and tone department. I thought I had a relatively lowish-cost "beater" (sorry, I don't care for that term much but it's an easy label) when I got mine on a whim ...then quickly realized how wonderful this 210 really is. A real eye opener
