Product Description

Your Go-To Gigging and Songwriting Partner

This pre-owned Taylor 214ce is a fantastic find, arriving in mint condition with the plastic still on the pickguard. It represents a killer value, delivering that classic, articulate Taylor sound and buttery playability in their beloved Grand Auditorium body shape. This is a true workhorse guitar—perfect for the singer-songwriter, the weekend gigger, or anyone who needs a reliable, inspiring acoustic-electric that punches way above its price tag.

Tonewoods That Sing

The magic starts with a solid Torrefied Spruce top. Taylor’s torrefaction process is like aging the wood in a time machine, giving you the warm, responsive, and open character of a well-loved vintage guitar right out of the box. It’s paired with layered Walnut back and sides, which adds a touch of warmth and focus to the spruce’s bright clarity, creating a balanced and versatile voice that handles both delicate fingerpicking and hard strumming with ease. The C-Class bracing underneath enhances the bass response and sustain, giving the guitar a surprisingly rich low-end bloom for its size.

Stage-Ready Electronics & Effortless Playability

Plug in, and the Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics deliver a beautifully natural and dynamic amplified tone. The behind-the-saddle pickup design captures the guitar’s true voice, not just the string sound, making it a breeze to dial in a great live sound. The neck is pure Taylor: a comfortable Standard Carve profile on a smooth Neo-Tropical Mahogany neck that feels fast and familiar, encouraging you to play for hours without fatigue.

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.

Torrefaction is a special roasting process that ages the wood, giving it the sound of a vintage guitar that’s been played for years. It makes the top lighter and more resonant, resulting in a warmer, more responsive tone with quicker attack and longer sustain. It’s like getting a broken-in guitar from day one.
Layered woods are more resilient to changes in humidity, making this a durable and reliable guitar for gigging. Tonally, the layered walnut provides a clear, balanced foundation for the solid top’s voice. It keeps the sound focused and controlled, blending the spruce top’s brightness with a pleasing warmth.
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.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
