Your Go-To Acoustic Workhorse
Here it is, the guitar that can truly do it all. This pre-owned Taylor 214ce is a player’s dream, combining that classic Taylor clarity and feel with a warmth and responsiveness that feels instantly familiar. It’s in excellent condition and ready for the stage, studio, or just the living room couch. At this price, it’s a whole lot of American-designed tone for the money.
Tonewoods that Deliver
The magic starts with a solid torrefied spruce top. Taylor’s torrefaction process is like a time machine, aging the wood to give it the sweet, open, and responsive character of a vintage guitar right out of the box. It’s paired with layered walnut back and sides, which adds a visual pop and a focused, warm midrange that cuts through without being harsh. The Grand Auditorium body shape is the perfect middle ground, big enough for robust strumming but contoured and comfortable for fingerstyle playing.
Next-Gen Bracing and Electronics
Under the hood, Taylor’s C-Class bracing boosts the low-end presence, giving this guitar a surprising amount of punch and volume for its size. When you’re ready to plug in, the onboard Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics capture all that natural acoustic goodness. The behind-the-saddle pickup design provides a more dynamic and authentic amplified tone, making this a reliable partner for any live performance.
The Legendary Taylor Neck
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Taylor without that famously comfortable neck. The neo-tropical mahogany neck has a standard carve profile that feels just right in the hand, while the West African Crelicam Ebony fingerboard is smooth and slick. The 1-11/16″ nut width makes chording effortless, and the Venetian cutaway gives you unhindered access to the upper frets.
