A Lefty Taylor That’s Built for the Stage

The Taylor 214ce Left-handed acoustic-electric guitar makes it easy to get great Taylor tone both onstage and off. The 214ce Left-handed combines a solid Sitka spruce top and koa back and sides material for excellent acoustic projection, while the single cutaway design and Grand Auditorium body style make it easy to play — even to the highest frets! This guitar includes Taylor’s ES2 amplification system, which combines innovative pickup/sensor designs with a powerful preamp for very natural (and controllable) plugged-in tone from the 214ce Left-handed.

Grand Auditorium body style with 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.

Quality Taylor construction

Value is just one of the reasons why we at Sweetwater love the Taylor 200 series. The 214ce is a modestly priced guitar with tonal qualities and resonance approaching that of a premium acoustic. Layered koa adds depth to the sparkle of a Sitka top, filling in a full range of tonal possibilities.

Sounds great plugged in

With the ES2 amplification system, this affordably priced acoustic can now be plugged in to further enhance the Taylor playing experience. The ES2 utilizes a proprietary behind-the-saddle pickup and a Taylor-devised active preamp. The result is a high-fidelity, low-impedance signal for clear, acoustic amplified tone.

Taylor 214ce Left-handed Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:

  • 6-string Grand Auditorium Cutaway — left-handed
  • Layered koa back and sides
  • Clear-sounding solid Sitka spruce top
  • Smooth ebony fretboard
  • Natural-sounding Taylor ES2 electronics
  • Comfortable dimensions

Reviews

Great customer service
Sweetwater's customer service is great! My sales engineer was very helpful and even sent me the professional photos of my guitar. It shipped out within 24 hours. The 55 point inspection assured I wouldn't get a flawed instrument. Will definitely be a regular customer.
Taylor 214CE KOA
This was my first of 2 Taylor Guitars. Everything about this guitar has been amazing. Playability, sound etc. etc. So much so that, I decided to grab another. A 210 CE Dreadnaught. WOW. I strongly recommend these Taylors. The price range was right in my budget. My Sweetwater Sales engineer Sebby Woldt is always on top of it. Always answers my calls, texts and emails and makes great suggestions. A true Professional that has gained my respect and my business.
Great guitar and great customer service
Website is great. I got exactly what I ordered, the product was great, and Tyler was there every step of the way.
The Taylor is finally mine!
Taylor has been a guitar brand that I've been chasing since 2018. When I found a model/series that my wallet could handle, I landed on the Taylor 200 series. Sweetwater was offering a great deal and this particular guitar was available, (with a gig bag) so I gladly clicked enter on my keyboard. I think most guitar players strive for the best construction and craftmanship. Maybe we all ask ourselves, is it pretty and does it play well? Yes, this 214ce is very pretty and it plays great! My marathon with guitars and playing chords and having fun continues. Thanks so much.
Music background: I just wanted to strum and play chords for fun.
So smooth
Plays like a gem, and such a smooth sound and feel. This is my first upgrade from a 'entry level' guitar, and what a difference it makes. Even my kids notice the better sound! And Charlie Kim is great to work with as well!
