You’ll Love the Feel and Sound of This Nylon-string Acoustic-electric

The Taylor 214ce-N strikes the ideal balance between excellent tone and easy playability. This nylon-string acoustic-electric’s layered rosewood back and sides deliver a warm tone with a present midrange response. The solid Sitka spruce top adds extra projection and note definition that perfectly complements the rosewood body. This classic tonewood combination all but guarantees every emotion of your playing is transmitted to the audience. When it’s time to plug in, the specially designed ES-N electronics accurately reproduce the natural character of the nylon strings for a realistic sound and feel. The Taylor 214ce-N will become your new go-to guitar in no time at all.

Grand Auditorium body shape creates a full and robust tone

The 214ce-N utilizes Taylor’s well-loved Grand Auditorium body style. This original Bob Taylor design showcases a deep low end that’s nicely contrasted by shimmering highs. It’s slightly smaller than a dreadnought yet possesses a well-behaved punchy quality that players at Sweetwater absolutely adore. Fingerstyle players will delight in the 214ce-N’s clarity and projection. Above all, this guitar’s body is incredibly comfortable to play for players of all ages and sizes. Whatever style you and your new 214ce-N will be playing, you’ll enjoy a comfortable playing experience and excellent clarity.

Classic tonewood combination

The 214ce-N is made with a classic tonewood combination to create a familiar sound that players expect from a Taylor. The body is made with layered rosewood back and sides to give it a hearty tone with a pleasant midrange boost. The Sitka spruce top refines the attack and lends extra note definition. The combination of tonewoods and the unique body shape create a tone that is deep, powerful, detailed, and mellow at the same time.

Taylor ES-N electronics for a natural and dynamic nylon-string experience

Artists who play plugged in will appreciate the Taylor 214ce-N’s natural-sounding ES-N electronics. This system’s under-saddle pickup, preamp, and tone section have all been tailored to complement the sound and dynamics of nylon strings. Discreet master volume and tone controls let you tweak your sound and output from the stage. So whether you’re recording straight into an interface or performing onstage, the Taylor 214ce-N won’t let you down.

  • Grand Auditorium body delivers a rich tone

Comfortable and Beautiful

I got this as the guitar I always pickup when an Idea sparks, it's mounted right next to my bed and has yet to let me down.
I find myself playing way more and exploring way more since it's super convenient and has the best action out of all my guitar.
Looks great, sounds great, looks great, and plays like butter. No notes from me!
Music background: Solo Artist
Rated 5/5

Top of the line sound and playability at a quality high end guitar entry level price.

I have had this guitar for several years now and I love it. I liked it so much that I purchased the Taylor 814ce-N thinking that if my 214ce-N played so nice then the high end 814ce-N at three times the price would be three times better. I was wrong, they both are truly exceptional guitars, fitting my playing style perfectly and each sounding equally heavenly. One suggestion though, my dry Wisconsin winters resulted in some fretboard shrinkage causing rough fret wires ends. I purchased a Taylor hard guitar case and with proper humidification this problem resolved itself without having to file or adjust the fret board. It's hard to keep the canvas like gig bag properly humidified.
Music background: I play guitar not because I’m good at it, but because I like getting better at it.

Rated 5/5

Fantastic value for a Taylor guitar

I had been looking for a reasonably priced nylon string guitar for the purpose of doing some country style music with it. I was very fortunate to find the 214 CEN. It sounds great, the electronics work well, and the Taylor quality is all there! It was a very worthwhile purchase
Music background: Playing guitar for 40 years and still a beginner!
