Product Description

The Working Musician’s Dreadnought, Elevated

Meet the Taylor 210ce—a guitar that hits way above its weight class. This isn’t just another acoustic; it’s a cannon with clarity, built for the player who needs a reliable, tone-drenched workhorse. We’ve seen a lot of guitars, and this one has that special something. The torrefied spruce top gives it a played-in, vintage warmth right out of the box, while the layered walnut back and sides add a crisp, articulate punch that records beautifully.

Tone That’s Opened-Up From Day One

The magic here starts with the top wood. Taylor’s torrefaction process is essentially like aging the spruce, giving it the dry, responsive, and dynamic character of a guitar that’s been played for decades. It’s loud, it’s clear, and it has a harmonic bloom that’s just inspiring. Paired with the layered walnut, you get a sound that’s focused and powerful—perfect for cutting through a mix, whether you’re strumming hard or picking delicate single-note lines.

Legendary Taylor Playability & Onstage Power

Of course, it plays like a Taylor. The Standard Carve neo-tropical mahogany neck is pure comfort, a buttery-smooth platform that feels just right from the first fret to the last. The Venetian cutaway gives you effortless access to the upper register for your lead work. And when it’s time to plug in, the onboard Expression System® 2 electronics deliver one of the most natural, authentic acoustic tones on the market. It captures all the nuance of the guitar’s voice without that dreaded piezo ‘quack’. This guitar is ready for the studio, the stage, and anywhere in between.

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.

Think of it like a fast-forward button for tone. The torrefaction process roasts the spruce to remove moisture and oils, which mimics the aging process of vintage wood. The result is a guitar that sounds more open, responsive, and complex right from the start—you don’t have to wait 20 years for it to break in.
Layered woods are fantastic for creating a durable, climate-resilient guitar, which is a huge plus for gigging musicians. Tonally, the layered walnut here provides a strong fundamental note with a really pleasing clarity and focus. It supports the powerful spruce top perfectly and helps the guitar project without getting muddy.
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.
