I use a Taylor 614CE in my Guitar Tricks videos and have been in love with that guitar since the day I got it. I was lucky to stumble across it used at the music store I was working at at the time in Indiana. Where as I have some issues with the expression system in the guitar (the pickup, which is an older model), I am completely in love with that guitar and it has defined my voice on the instrument.

In comparison to the Epiphone, I honestly have not played those instruments, but have had such success with Taylor's that I feel obliged to suggest them all to often. Especially the 114 that you purchased, as that instrument sounds great for the price and I can tell you are happy with it.

Back to the Epiphone, go with what feels the best but also try and get the most for your money. Best of luck!
