I happen to own a 2010 era 114ce that lives in Anchorage with friends. I have not seen it in five years now (I no longer fly commercially, so no trips to Alaska anymore). It was a fine instrument to have for weeklong guitar camps and the 55-60 hours of play at camp that week. My caretaker buddy still takes it to
Acoustic Alaska Guitar Camp just in case someone has a mishap with the airlines. It has saved the bacon of a couple of campers already, but acquired some dings along the way that I did not put on it.
The 114 is nice and plays well. It is a little brighter overall and not quite as refined as the higher numbered GA's that I have owned, but is a perfectly serviceable instrument for guitar camp and for the former business trips up north. (I used to live in Alaska, so it was typical to take 2-4 work trips per year after I moved back south to
America.
Buying a decent guitar to leave up there was cheaper than extra baggage fees, and less stressful than worrying about whether my camp guitar would survive airline baggage handlers).
