From Our Research Team:Taylor Tone, Fantastic Value!With a laminate rosewood body, a solid Sitka spruce top, and a beautiful ebony fretboard, the 214ce makes the Taylor experience more accessible than ever. Scalloped bracing delivers the Taylor steel-string tone, and black fiber binding, dot inlays, and wood fiber rosette contribute to a smart appearance.Taylor ES Blue With the ES Blue amplification system, this affordably-priced Dreadnought can now be plugged-in to further enhance the Taylor playing experience. Derived from the Taylor Expression System, the ES Blue utilizes a proprietary Dynamic String Sensor and a Taylor-devised active preamp. The result is a high-fidelity, low-impedance signal for clear, acoustic amplified tone. Taylor 214ce Wood A modestly priced guitar with tonal qualities and resonance approaching that of a premium acoustic guitar - an incredible value. In the 200 Series, laminate rosewood adds depth to the sparkle of a solid Sitka top, filling in a full range of tonal possibilities. Taylor 214ce Body Style: Grand Auditorium A/E Cutaway Taylor's Grand Auditorium combines the width and depth of a Dreadnought with a narrower waist. Its sleek design yields a strong treble zing across the tonal spectrum and sharpens the definition of individual notes. The Grand Auditorium is a strong fingerpicking guitar that also adapts well to medium strumming. Taylor 214ce Finish: Varnish A durable varnish finish offers protection, good looks, and a smooth feel to the touch. Available in natural finish. Taylor 214ce Features:

Christopher , Savannah, GA Reviewsbased on 3 reviewsexcellent craftmanship, excellent sound.
by from New York City
The guitar itself sounds beautiful. It's very bright, which is consistent with the research I found before purchasing the guitar. I was able to play one before buying it and couldn't believe how easy ... read more [+]it was to play. I actually sound like a better guitarist with this guitar. The neck is perfectly smooth, and the playability lives up to the taylor brand.December 21, 2012 Music Background: musician Because the guitar has such a bright sound, the high end is accentuated when it's plugged in and you're using the pickups, so I run it through an EQ pedal for live performances to make it less harsh. That really fixes everything for me. I've recorded with it quite a bit already through a mic, not direct-in, and it sounds beautiful. ZERO regrets on this purchase. close [-] Good acoustic electric
by Mick Luehrman from Kansas City, Missouri
Bought this model a year ago. Plays like a dream. Action very fast. Precision of the neck allows for action to be set low and not buzz. Ebony fingerboard is luscious--wonderfully silky smooth. It... read more [+] plays more like my electric than other acoustic guitars I have (Martin, Takamine, Alvarez). Great sounding finger style instrument. Not as good for "strumming" with a pick. Can be a bit harsh when plugged in (Fender Acoustasonic). I often end up rolling off almost all of the treble to reduce the harshness when strumming with a pick. I use a 31 band graphic eq and that helps a lot also. I do kind of wish I had stepped up to a higher end model to get the full Taylor Expression system. Thinking it might be less treble-y. On the other hand, I think this treble characteristic is probably part of what makes it sound so good as a finger style guitar. My first Taylor and I must say the craftsmanship on my 214ce is excellent. All in all, I'm quite pleased with the instrument close [-]
