Taylor Guitars 214ce-K Natural Grand Auditorium - Refurbished

At the Heart of Taylor's 200 Series

The 214ce-K is part of the 200 series, Taylor's segment that combines the brand's premium DNA with an accessible approach. The Grand Auditorium shape, a true Taylor signature for over 20 years, offers the ideal balance of power, clarity, and modern comfort, with meticulous craftsmanship and an elegant satin finish.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

Perfect for ambitious beginner guitarists as well as intermediate and advanced players, this electro-acoustic adapts to pop/folk strumming, delicate fingerpicking, country, and singer-songwriter styles. The slim "Taylor" neck promotes relaxed fretting, while the cutaway facilitates melodic runs high up the neck.

Sound Characteristics

The solid Sitka spruce top delivers attack, dynamics, and a generous volume reserve. The laminated koa back and sides prioritize balance and stability while adding a slight brightness in the mid-high frequencies. The Grand Auditorium shape ensures wide projection, controlled sustain, and excellent note articulation. Plugged in, the ES2 electronics (sensors positioned behind the bridge and discreet preamp) reproduce a natural, detailed, and dynamic tone, ideal for live performance and quick recording.

- Hard case in "Grand Auditorium" size for reinforced protection on tour or in transit.
