The Player’s Choice Grand Auditorium
Here’s a guitar that just feels right. This pre-owned Taylor 214ce-K is in excellent condition and delivers that classic Taylor playability and tone that fits just about any musical situation. The Grand Auditorium body shape is the quintessential all-rounder, big enough to deliver powerful strumming tones but focused enough for delicate fingerstyle work. With the torrefied spruce top, this guitar has a wonderfully mature, played-in sound right out of the case.
Torrefied Top, Koa Character
The magic starts with the solid torrefied Sitka spruce top. Taylor’s special roasting process ages the wood, giving it the warm, responsive, and open character of a vintage guitar. Paired with the visually stunning layered koa back and sides, you get a tone that’s both familiar and exotic. Expect a strong, clear fundamental with a rich midrange bloom and a top-end that shimmers without being harsh. The C-Class bracing inside enhances the volume and sustain, making every note feel alive.
Stage-Ready ES2 Electronics
When it’s time to plug in, the onboard Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics capture the guitar’s natural voice with incredible accuracy. Taylor’s innovative behind-the-saddle pickup design translates all the nuance of your playing, from aggressive picking to soft, dynamic passages. It’s one of the most natural-sounding acoustic pickup systems out there, making this 214ce-K a reliable partner for any gig, open mic, or studio session.
Effortless Taylor Playability
Of course, it plays like a Taylor. The signature slim-profile neo-tropical mahogany neck is a dream to play, with a comfortable 1-11/16″ nut width that feels just right for both chording and single-note lines. The West African Crelicam Ebony fingerboard is smooth and slick, and the Venetian cutaway provides easy access to the upper frets. It’s a guitar that just gets out of your way and lets you play.
