The Perfect Blend of Warmth, Sparkle, and Style
Right out of the case, this Taylor 214ce-K SB Plus grabs your attention. The gorgeous Shaded Edgeburst finish highlights the stunning layered Hawaiian Koa back and sides, promising a guitar that sounds as good as it looks. And it delivers. The torrefied Sitka spruce top, a feature usually found on much pricier instruments, gives this guitar a played-in, vintage warmth from the very first strum. It’s responsive, dynamic, and incredibly versatile.
Taylor’s Grand Auditorium body shape is the ultimate do-it-all workhorse. It’s big enough to deliver powerful projection for strumming, yet focused and articulate enough for delicate fingerstyle work. The Venetian cutaway offers effortless access to the upper frets, so you can explore the entire fretboard with ease. Whether you’re on stage, in the studio, or writing on the couch, the 214ce-K SB Plus feels right at home.
Torrefied Top, Timeless Tone
The secret to this guitar’s mature voice is its torrefied spruce top. Taylor’s special roasting process ages the wood, resulting in a sound that’s rich, warm, and full of character. It mimics the tonal properties of a vintage guitar that has been played for decades. Combined with the layered Koa back and sides, which add a vibrant midrange punch and top-end sparkle, you get a sound that is both classic and uniquely compelling.
Stage-Ready Electronics
When it’s time to plug in, Taylor’s onboard Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics ensure your natural acoustic tone translates beautifully. The behind-the-saddle pickup design captures the guitar’s full dynamic range, delivering a clear, authentic sound through any PA system or amplifier. Simple, intuitive controls for volume, treble, and bass make it easy to dial in your perfect sound on the fly.
