Taylor Guitars 110ce Natural Dreadnought

A Series 100 Designed for the Essentials: The Taylor Sound, Without Excess

The 110ce belongs to the Series 100 with a clear philosophy: to offer a true Taylor experience daily, prioritizing reliable and coherent lutherie choices. The combination of a solid top and layered back/sides aims for an excellent balance between rich sound, robustness, and ease of maintenance. Add the Dreadnought body shape, and you get a guitar tailored for accompaniment, capable of filling a room acoustically and easily fitting into a mix once plugged in.

An Electro-Acoustic Dreadnought Designed for Accompaniment, Recording, and Live Playing

This Taylor is suitable both for the motivated beginner seeking a guitar that can evolve, and the intermediate musician looking for a versatile instrument ready for band playing. The Dreadnought shape highlights pick strumming, flatpicking, and voice/guitar accompaniment, while retaining enough response for clean fingerstyle passages. Folk, pop, country, acoustic rock, and worship: the 110ce remains comfortable whenever dynamics, projection, and a solid foundation are needed.

Sound Characteristics

The solid torrefied spruce top provides a lively response, with precise highs and clarity that remains readable even when played aggressively. Torrefaction also tends to round out the upper spectrum and impart a sense of maturity, particularly appreciated in rhythmic playing. The layered sapele back and sides promote consistent and stable sound reproduction, ideal if you play in varied environments. Thanks to the Dreadnought shape and X-bracing, the 110ce delivers firm lows, present mids, and great projection, with sufficient sustain to make chords sing. Once plugged in, the Expression System 2 (sensors positioned behind the bridge) reproduces a natural dynamic range, convenient for transitioning from pick attack to lighter nuances without losing balance.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original setup and gauge, choose Phosphor Bronze acoustic strings in .013-.056 (medium gauge), like the factory-installed set. A standard capo for 6-string folk guitar, a strap, and a clip-on tuner will be immediately suitable. For the ES2 electronics, plan for a 9V battery, and to preserve the solid top throughout the seasons, a soundhole humidifier is highly recommended.
