214ce
The 214ce-N represents a unique blend of contemporary design and classical-esque tone, offering players a new musical tool with a distinctive sound. This Grand Auditorium model features a solid Sitka spruce top and layered rosewood back and sides, generating a punchy, snappy nylon-string tone that's perfect for classical arrangements, flamenco, and other fingerstyle genres. The 1-7/8" neck width provides a touch of extra string spacing while maintaining a relaxed fretting feel, and the ES-N pickup makes it easy to plug in and play with organic-sounding live tone. The 214ce-N ships with a sturdy padded gig bag.
Grand Auditorium
When you think of a Taylor Guitar the chances are you think of a Grand Auditorium. For over 20 years it has been the classic Taylor body shape, with just the right blend of tonal balance, projection, note articulation, top end shimmer and unbelievable feel playability - it has been a hallmark of the guitar industry and a go to for players of all ages, abilities and musical direction. With a width / depth like that of the dreadnought but with sleeker lines and a narrower waist that make it easily identifiable from across the room - this most versatile of guitar platforms provides a level playing field and from bedroom, touring or studio musicians alike, just makes you want to keep on playing.
Layered Rosewood
Layered rosewood is among the most popular layered tonewoods in the Taylor family, often appearing in the 200 Series and its Deluxe and Plus subsets. Offering a classically natural, chocolatey visual character, layered rosewood also provides a bold, vibrant tone, usually bolstered by a solid Sitka spruce top.
Sitka Spruce
Sitka Spruce is the most commonly used wood for guitar tops. Sitka generates a broad dynamic range and accommodates numerous playing styles from aggressive strumming to fingerpicking. As a guitar soundboard, Sitka spruce is the tonewood standard of the modern era. It’s used on 85-90 percent of the guitars that Taylor makes. Its combination of strength and elasticity translates into a broad dynamic range, yielding crisp articulation and allowing for everything from aggressive strumming and flatpicking to fingerpicking.
ES-2 Pickup
If you need to amplify your sound, you'll love the revolutionary onboard ES2 pickup system. The 3 individual sensors located behind the saddle combine with the pro-grade preamp to deliver an unmatched dynamics, perfect for live or studio."
