Taylor 214 CE Acoustic/Electric (s/n: 2208076007)! Guitar comes with Taylor Plush Lined GigBag!

Classic Taylor Playability, Grand Auditorium Versatility & a Warm Torrefied Spruce Voice

Some acoustic guitars are designed around a particular style of music. Others are built to go wherever the player takes them.

The Taylor 214ce falls firmly into the second category.

Available now at Northeast Music Center, this individual Taylor 214ce—serial number 2208076007—combines a solid torrefied spruce top, layered walnut back and sides, C-Class bracing, Taylor's Grand Auditorium body shape and Expression System 2 electronics in a guitar that is comfortable, versatile and ready for both acoustic and amplified playing.

It also comes complete with its Taylor plush-lined structured gig bag, making it ready to travel to lessons, rehearsals, recording sessions and gigs.

For the player looking to step into the Taylor family—or the experienced guitarist who wants a dependable acoustic-electric that doesn't need to be treated like a museum piece—the 214ce hits a particularly attractive sweet spot.

Solid Torrefied Spruce Top

The soundboard is where much of an acoustic guitar's personality begins, and Taylor gives the 214ce a significant advantage with a solid torrefied spruce top.

Spruce has long been one of the most important acoustic-guitar soundboard materials because of its combination of clarity, projection, dynamic range and versatility.

Taylor takes that familiar formula a step further through torrefaction.

The controlled roasting process changes some of the physical characteristics of the spruce and helps give the top a warmer, more mature response—qualities normally associated with a guitar that has already spent time opening up through years of playing.

The result is a 214ce that feels responsive right from the start.

Play lightly and the guitar can be articulate and detailed.

Strum with more authority and the solid spruce top has the dynamic range to respond.

For singer-songwriters, fingerstyle players, rhythm guitarists and musicians who regularly move between techniques, that flexibility is exactly what makes spruce such an effective choice.

Layered Walnut Back & Sides

Taylor pairs the solid top with handsome layered walnut back and sides.

Visually, walnut gives the guitar a warm and natural appearance, with grain that complements the clean spruce top beautifully.

From a practical standpoint, Taylor's layered construction also helps create a durable guitar that's well suited to real-world use.

That's important because the 214ce is exactly the kind of acoustic that tends to go places.

It can live beside you at home.

It can travel to rehearsals.

It can become your songwriting guitar.

It can go to the studio.

And thanks to its ES2 electronics, it can go directly onto the stage.

The solid torrefied spruce top remains the primary tonal engine, while the layered walnut body gives the guitar a stable and practical foundation.

C-Class Bracing

Underneath the spruce top is Taylor's C-Class bracing.

Inspired by some of the concepts behind Taylor's V-Class architecture, C-Class uses an asymmetrical design developed to enhance the performance of guitars in this part of Taylor's lineup.

The bracing helps support volume, sustain and low-frequency response, giving the Grand Auditorium body a surprisingly substantial voice while retaining the clarity players expect from Taylor.

That's particularly useful on the 214ce.

The guitar doesn't feel like it's trying to overpower the room with excessive bass. Instead, the sound stays controlled and musical, with enough low-end presence to give chords weight while maintaining good separation between individual strings.

For recording and vocal accompaniment, that balance can be extremely useful.

Taylor's Grand Auditorium Body

A huge part of the 214ce's appeal comes from its Grand Auditorium body shape.

Taylor's Grand Auditorium has become one of the most successful modern acoustic designs because it doesn't force the player into one musical category.

It's comfortable enough for extended playing sessions.

It has enough body volume for confident strumming.

It's balanced enough for fingerstyle work.

It provides excellent definition for recording.

And it works beautifully underneath a vocal.

The defined waist helps the guitar sit comfortably against the player, while the overall body dimensions provide enough acoustic volume to produce a satisfying full-range response.

If you're looking for one acoustic guitar that needs to cover a lot of territory, the Grand Auditorium is an excellent place to start.

Venetian Cutaway

The familiar Venetian cutaway gives the 214ce its unmistakable contemporary Taylor silhouette while providing practical access to the upper register.

That becomes especially useful for players coming from electric guitar, musicians who incorporate melodic lead work into acoustic arrangements, or anyone who likes exploring chord voicings farther up the neck.

It's smooth, comfortable and purposeful.

Nothing about the 214ce feels designed merely for appearance.

Taylor's design decisions consistently serve the player.

A Neck That Feels Like a Taylor

Taylor's reputation for playability isn't an accident.

The 214ce features a Neo-Tropical mahogany neck with Taylor's Standard Carve profile, paired with a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard.

The 25-1/2" scale length provides the familiar response and string tension associated with Taylor's Grand Auditorium guitars, while the 1-11/16" nut width creates a comfortable fretting-hand experience.

That slightly narrower nut width can make the 214ce especially approachable for electric-guitar players moving into acoustic playing or anyone who prefers a little less reach across the first-position chords.

The neck feels clean, modern and inviting.

And that's important.

A guitar can have great specifications, beautiful wood and impressive electronics, but none of it matters if you don't want to pick it up and play it.

The 214ce is the kind of guitar that encourages exactly that.

Genuine Ebony Fingerboard & Bridge

Taylor equips the 214ce with a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard and bridge.

It's a detail that contributes to both the appearance and tactile quality of the instrument.

The ebony fingerboard provides a smooth, substantial playing surface underneath the fretting hand, while the matching ebony bridge gives the top the familiar premium Taylor aesthetic.

At Northeast Music Center, we think these details matter.

When you're moving into a serious acoustic-electric guitar, the overall experience should feel like an upgrade—not just the name on the headstock.

The combination of Taylor neck geometry, ebony appointments and the comfortable Grand Auditorium body helps the 214ce deliver exactly that feeling.

Taylor Expression System 2 Electronics

The 214ce isn't limited to acoustic use.

Taylor equips the guitar with its proven Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics.

The ES2 uses Taylor's behind-the-saddle pickup design to capture the guitar's vibrations and translate them into a usable amplified signal.

For the performing guitarist, that means the 214ce is ready when the situation changes.

Playing acoustically at home?

You're covered.

Heading to rehearsal?

Put it in the Taylor gig bag and go.

Playing through a PA or acoustic amplifier?

Plug in the ES2.

Recording?

You have another useful tonal option available immediately.

This ability to move easily between acoustic and amplified environments is one of the reasons the 214ce works so well as an everyday instrument.

Built to Be Played

There are guitars you worry about every time they leave the house.

The 214ce isn't intended to be one of them.

This is a guitar built to become part of your routine.

Leave it close enough to grab when an idea hits.

Take it to rehearsal.

Bring it to an open mic.

Use it at church.

Write songs with it.

Record with it.

Gig with it.

That's one of the things we appreciate about the model at Northeast Music Center.

It gives players genuine Taylor design, a solid torrefied spruce soundboard, real ebony appointments, professional electronics and excellent playability without creating the feeling that the guitar is too precious to use.

A great guitar should make you want to play more.

The 214ce does exactly that.
