Product Description

The Player’s Choice Acoustic

Here it is, a guitar that just feels right from the moment you pick it up. This pre-owned 2021 Taylor 214ce DLX is a testament to what a great acoustic should be: resonant, comfortable, and ready for any stage or studio. The classic combination of a solid Sitka Spruce top and layered Rosewood back and sides delivers a tone that’s both powerful and nuanced. You get the crisp articulation from the spruce, with a warm, blooming low-end from the rosewood. It’s in excellent condition and looking for a new home.

Grand Auditorium Body: The All-Rounder

Taylor’s Grand Auditorium shape is the perfect middle ground. It’s big enough to deliver near-Dreadnought level volume when you dig in with a pick, but its narrower waist makes it incredibly comfortable for fingerstyle playing. The Venetian cutaway isn’t just for looks, it offers effortless access to the upper frets for more expressive playing.

Expression System 2 Electronics

When it’s time to plug in, the onboard Expression System 2 electronics truly shine. Taylor revolutionized acoustic pickups with this behind-the-saddle design. It captures the dynamic range of the guitar perfectly, translating all that rich, woody tone into a natural, warm amplified sound without the sterile ‘quack’ of traditional piezo systems. It’s your guitar’s true voice, just louder.

The Lowdown

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The DLX models from Taylor represent a significant upgrade in appointments. For the 214ce, that means a full-body gloss finish for a more premium look, Small Diamond inlays instead of dots, and the inclusion of a Taylor deluxe hardshell case, giving you top-notch protection for your instrument.
Taylor’s layered wood construction is engineered for resilience and great tone. The layered Rosewood back and sides provide a rich, warm foundation with plenty of harmonic complexity, similar to solid rosewood, but with added durability that makes it more resistant to changes in humidity. It’s a smart design that delivers fantastic sound.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
