Offering incredible playability, versatility and value, the Taylor 214CE has all bases covered. Whether on stage, in the studio or just playing at home, the 214CE is an attractive choice for any guitar player.
The Taylor 214CE is built using an attractive layered rosewood for the back and sides and high quality solid Sitka spruce for the top. It delivers warms, punchy bass tones whilst the solid Spruce offers sparkling, clear trebles allowing it to sit perfectly in the mix alongside other instruments.
Differing from the Taylor 210 Dreadnought models, the Taylor 214CE features Taylors best-selling Grand Auditorium body shape. With proportions that sit somewhere between a Dreadnought and the smaller Grand Concert, the Grand Auditorium is ideal for both finger picking and strumming. Add to this the 214CEs Venetian cutaway and you have a guitar that is extremely popular with guitarists who want one guitar to cover multiple uses.
The 214ce now features Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics system. At the heart of the system is Taylor's behind the saddle pickup, which features three uniquely placed pickup sensors that in conjunction Taylor's custom designed professional audio grade preamp conveys the voice of the acoustic guitar whilst capturing more of the guitar's dynamic properties. Controls couldn't be simpler - volume, bass and treble.
The Taylor 214CE features a solid Sapele neck with an Ebony fretboard fitted with 20 frets. The headstock is finished off with an ebony veneer featuring an inlaid Taylor logo. Tuning is kept solid with the addition of high quality, chrome tuners.
Included with the 214CE is a high quality gig case. This offers the durable protection of a hard case, but with the low weight and portability of a padded gigbag.

Great service from GigGear. Nice guitar, easy to play and great tone. However, I expected the electronics on this to operate like the Yamaha LL models. This only works with an amp, so disappointed in that respect.
