Your All-Purpose Acoustic Workhorse
Meet the Taylor 214ce in a stunning Shaded Edgeburst finish. This isn’t just another acoustic; it’s a tool built for players. Whether you’re a hard-working gigger, a dedicated singer-songwriter, or just finding your voice, the 214ce delivers the perfect blend of playability, rich tone, and stage-ready electronics.
The Grand Auditorium body shape is Taylor’s signature design for a reason, it’s the ultimate do-it-all acoustic. It’s comfortable to hold yet produces a full, articulate sound that works for everything from delicate fingerstyle to aggressive strumming. The Venetian cutaway doesn’t just look sharp; it gives you total access to the upper frets for those soaring leads and complex chord voicings.
Aged Tone from Day One
The magic starts with the solid torrefied spruce top. Taylor’s special roasting process ages the wood, giving it the warmth, resonance, and touch-sensitivity of a well-loved vintage guitar right out of the box. You get that played-in sweetness and harmonic complexity without waiting decades for it to develop. Paired with layered walnut back and sides, the result is a tone that’s clear and projective, with a pleasing visual warmth to match.
C-Class Bracing: Small Body, Big Voice
Under the hood, Taylor’s C-Class bracing provides a surprising amount of low-end power and volume for a guitar of this size. This innovative, asymmetrical design boosts bass response while increasing sustain, making the 214ce sound bigger and bolder than you’d expect. It’s a responsive and dynamic framework that lets every nuance of your playing shine through.
Stage-Ready Electronics
When it’s time to plug in, Taylor’s Expression System® 2 (ES2) has you covered. This revolutionary pickup system is placed behind the saddle, not under it, which allows it to capture a more natural, dynamic, and less harsh sound. You get the true voice of your guitar, just louder. With simple controls for volume, bass, and treble, dialing in your perfect live sound is effortless.
