Workhorse Taylor with a Played-In Soul
Here’s a guitar that punches way above its weight class. This pre-owned Taylor 214ce-K is in excellent condition and delivers a tonal maturity that usually takes years to develop. It combines the classic comfort and versatility of the Grand Auditorium body with a special combination of woods and bracing that make it a standout for any player.
Torrefied Top, Mature Tone
The magic starts with the solid torrefied spruce top. Taylor’s torrefaction process is a special roasting method that mimics the aging of wood, giving you the warm, responsive, and open sound of a vintage guitar right out of the case. Chords have a beautiful bloom, and single notes ring with piano-like clarity, all with a sweetness in the highs that feels perfectly broken-in.
Koa Character and C-Class Power
Paired with that top are layered Hawaiian koa back and sides, which not only look stunning but add a focused midrange and a glassy top-end shimmer. Inside, Taylor’s C-Class bracing provides a surprising amount of low-end power and sustain for a Grand Auditorium body. It’s an innovative design that helps the top move more freely, giving you more volume and a richer, bolder voice that won’t get lost in the mix.
Stage-Ready Electronics and Effortless Playability
When you’re ready to plug in, the onboard Expression System 2 electronics capture the guitar’s natural acoustic voice with incredible accuracy. The neo-tropical mahogany neck has Taylor’s comfortable Standard Carve, making it a joy to play for hours on end, while the Venetian cutaway offers clear access to the upper frets. This is a do-it-all instrument, perfect for the singer-songwriter, the weekend gigger, or the dedicated home player.
