Taylor 214ce
Taylor 214ce Grand Auditorium Electro Acoustic Guitar
Series: 200 Series
Body Shape: Grand Auditorium
Orientation: Right-Handed
Finish: Gloss Top / Satin Back & Sides

Overview

The Taylor 214ce is one of the most popular mid-range electro-acoustic guitars in the world, offering premium playability, versatile tone, and professional-grade electronics at an accessible price point. Designed as part of Taylor’s 200 Series, it’s built to suit a wide range of players—from advancing beginners to gigging musicians.

At its core is a solid Sitka spruce top, paired with layered tonewood back and sides (typically walnut or rosewood depending on variant). This combination delivers a clear, balanced tone with strong projection and excellent note definition.

The Grand Auditorium body shape is key to the 214ce’s versatility, comfortable to hold and capable of handling everything from fingerstyle to heavy strumming with ease. 

Equipped with Taylor’s Expression System® 2 (ES2) electronics, the 214ce is stage-ready, providing natural amplified tone for live performance or recording.
