Acoustic Electric in Natural w/Tan Structured Gig Bag

Versatile Grand Auditorium acoustic electric with torrefied spruce, layered walnut, C-Class bracing and ES2 electronics

The Taylor 214ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic Electric in Natural w/Tan Structured Gig Bag combines one of Taylor's most versatile body shapes with a warm, responsive torrefied spruce top and dependable stage-ready electronics. Its solid torrefied spruce top delivers bold projection with added warmth and played-in character, while layered walnut back and sides provide durable construction and a balanced tonal foundation. C-Class bracing enhances volume, sustain and low-end presence, while Taylor's comfortable neck design and Venetian cutaway make the 214ce an inviting choice for fingerstyle playing, strumming and flatpicking.

Features

The solid torrefied spruce top undergoes Taylor's roasting process to add warmth and a more mature tonal character while retaining the clarity, balance and projection associated with traditional spruce. Layered walnut back and sides complement the soundboard with a visually warm appearance and durable construction.

Taylor's Grand Auditorium body shape is designed for versatility, offering comfortable contours and a clear, balanced voice that works well across a wide variety of playing styles. Its response makes the 214ce equally capable for fingerstyle playing, strumming, accompaniment and recording.

C-Class bracing works with the torrefied spruce soundboard to increase volume, sustain and low-end presence. The result is a lively, responsive acoustic voice with strong projection and added warmth.

The Neo-Tropical mahogany neck provides the relaxed, comfortable fretting feel associated with Taylor guitars, while the West African Crelicam ebony fretboard offers a smooth playing surface. A Venetian cutaway provides easier access to the upper register.

Taylor Expression System 2 electronics use a behind-the-saddle pickup design to capture the guitar's natural dynamics for amplified performance through an acoustic amplifier, PA system or recording interface.

The Natural finish keeps the presentation clean and traditional, while the included Tan Structured Gig Bag provides convenient protection for storage and transportation.
