Taylor 214ce-K Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Cutaway - Natural

Fantastic Value in a Koa Taylor!

The Taylor 214ce-K 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-K plays like a Taylor — which is to say, effortlessly. With its gorgeous koa back and sides, Solid Sitka spruce top, and built-in ES2 electronics, the Taylor 214ce-K 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-K, employs the width and depth of the 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.

Sitka and Koa: a classic tonewood combination

As a top tonewood, Sitka 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. For this guitar’s sides and back, Taylor uses a very special tropical hardwood sourced from Hawaiian plantations above 5,000 feet. Koa’s sonic alchemy combines the focused midrange of mahogany with the snappy high end of maple. Koa’s inherent brightness is ideal for finger pickers with a meatier touch and for studio layering where you need an acoustic guitar that cuts through the track.

Built-in ES2 electronics system for great onstage tone

You’ll enjoy performing with the 214ce-K, 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-K sounds amazing.
