Product Description

A Player’s Guitar Through and Through

Here’s a guitar that just feels right. The Taylor 214ce Special Edition isn’t just another workhorse acoustic-electric—it’s a trusted musical partner that’s ready for the stage, the studio, or your living room couch. Dressed in a gorgeous Honey Sunburst matte finish, this Grand Auditorium strikes a perfect balance between comfort and rich, articulate sound. The real magic starts with the **torrefied Sitka spruce top**, which has been roasted to deliver the warm, opened-up character of a well-loved vintage guitar right out of the case.

Warm, Punchy, and Ready for Anything

That special top is paired with layered walnut back and sides, a combination that serves up a clear, punchy midrange and a balanced voice that works for just about anything. Whether you’re a gentle fingerpicker or a hard-charging strummer, the 214ce responds with impressive dynamic range. Taylor’s C-Class bracing enhances the low-end warmth and sustain without sacrificing that signature Taylor clarity. The result is a sound that’s both versatile and deeply inspiring—it just makes you want to play more.

Stage-Ready Electronics

When it’s time to plug in, Taylor’s acclaimed **Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics** have your back. This revolutionary behind-the-saddle pickup design captures the guitar’s dynamic properties in a way that’s incredibly natural and authentic. It translates all that acoustic goodness into a rich, warm plugged-in tone that’ll make your sound engineer’s job a breeze. From its stunning looks to its buttery feel and versatile voice, the 214ce Special Edition is a true player’s guitar.

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.

Torrefaction is a special roasting process that ages the wood, giving it the warm, responsive, and ‘played-in’ character of a vintage guitar. It makes the guitar more dynamic and resonant from day one.
The Grand Auditorium is a true all-rounder. It has a narrower waist than a dreadnought, which tightens up the bass and provides a more balanced, articulate tone that’s perfect for both fingerstyle and strumming. It’s also incredibly comfortable to play sitting down.
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.
