Taylor 214ce
Overview
The Taylor 214ce is a grand auditorium acoustic-electric guitar that represents the entry point into Taylor's solid-top lineup, designed for players who want refined Taylor playability and tone at a mid-range price. It features a solid Sitka spruce top with layered rosewood back and sides, a satin-finish tropical mahogany neck, and a 20-fret ebony fingerboard. Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics provide natural, feedback-resistant amplified tone that faithfully reproduces the guitar's acoustic character. The grand auditorium body shape offers a versatile tonal balance " articulate, clear, and responsive with moderate bass and strong midrange projection that works across strumming, fingerpicking, and flatpicking styles. Taylor's renowned neck design provides a comfortable, consistent playing experience with low action and excellent intonation across the fingerboard. Build quality is solid, with clean bracing visible through the soundhole, tidy binding, and a well-cut nut. This guitar is an excellent choice for intermediate players upgrading from a beginner instrument, as well as performing musicians who need reliable amplified acoustic tone. The layered rosewood back and sides do not produce quite the same depth and complexity as solid wood, which is the primary trade-off at this price point.
