A Natural Choice for Studio or Stage Work

Combine time-tested acoustic design and a natural-sounding pickup system, and you've got the Taylor 214ce Deluxe. Its Grand Auditorium body 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 at Sweetwater. With its slender and fast neck, the 214ce Deluxe plays like a Taylor, which is to say, effortlessly. With the 214ce Deluxe, you'll feel well equipped both onstage and in your studio.

Taylor 214ce Deluxe Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Grand Auditorium body style, for exceptional treble zing
  • Solid Sitka spruce top gives you wonderfully clear and balanced tone
  • Taylor Expression System 2 electronics
Grand Auditorium body style, for exceptional treble zing

Taylor's beloved Grand Auditorium body style, featured on the 214ce Deluxe, employs the width and depth of the dreadnought; however, its waist is narrower, which gives Grand Auditorium-bodied acoustic guitars a sleeker look and 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.

Solid Sitka spruce top gives you wonderfully clear and balanced tone

To give the 214ce Deluxe full tone and clear projection, Taylor added a solid Sitka spruce top to its layered rosewood back and sides. The characteristically open sound of this spruce top really balances the tone, making it a wonderful guitar for any style of music you play.

Taylor Expression System 2 electronics

Taylor's Expression System 2 is designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's natural tone. This system utilizes three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors installed behind the saddle and through the bridge to capture top and string vibration like never before. Created in partnership with audio pioneer Mr. Rupert Neve, Taylor's electronics are seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set it flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.

Taylor 214ce Deluxe Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:
  • 6-string Grand Auditorium body delivers huge, balanced tone
  • Solid Sitka spruce top balances tone and enhances projection
  • Graceful Venetian cutaway gives you free access to upper frets
  • Sapele neck with ebony fingerboard plays fast and smooth
  • Taylor Expression System 2 electronics deliver a natural amplified sound
The Taylor 214ce Deluxe is a great guitar for players of all styles!
