Fantastic Value in a Walnut Taylor!
The Taylor 214ce acoustic-electric guitar is a celebration of innovation. Bob Taylor’s signature Grand Auditorium body shape has the width and depth of a dreadnought, but its tapered waist and graceful contours make it look like a smaller instrument and impart balance and presence to the big sound, making it a favorite of recording engineers. With its slender, fast neck, the 214ce plays like a Taylor — which is to say, effortlessly. With its gorgeous walnut back and sides, a torrefied spruce top, and built-in ES2 electronics, the Taylor 214ce is your ticket to great things.

Grand Auditorium body style for amazing comfort, tone, and visuals
Taylor’s beloved Grand Auditorium body style, featured on the 214ce, employs the width and depth of a dreadnought; however, its waist is narrower, which gives Grand Auditorium–bodied acoustic guitars a sleeker look with more treble zing. The body style also helps to sharpen the definition of each note. From fingerpicking to medium strumming, the Grand Auditorium is a great choice for nearly every playing style.
Torrefied spruce and walnut for the win
As a top tonewood, spruce offers a combination of strength and elasticity that delivers a broad dynamic range with crisp articulation that’s ideal for a wide range of playing styles, from delicate fingerpicking to aggressive flatpicked strumming. The torrefied nature of this spruce top enhances its sonic qualities and brings its natural nature to the forefront while doubling down on strength. Walnut, used for this guitar’s sides and back, serves up a bright treble zing that is accompanied by rich bass tones and a present midrange. Lastly, Taylor’s fan bracing pattern, inspired by classical guitar builders, further develops the voice of this acoustic guitar with clarity, openness, and responsiveness.
Built-in ES2 electronics system for great onstage tone
You’ll enjoy performing with the 214ce, not only because of its great looks but also because it packs the Taylor ES2 electronics system, which delivers uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound and flexible tone shaping. Whether you’re playing it acoustically or plugged in, the Taylor 214ce sounds amazing.
