Main Description

The TAYLOR 214CE is optimized for live performance with cutaway allowing easy upper fret access and high quality Taylor electronics including EQ and phase switch for precise control over your live sound. The grand auditorium body isn't as large as a dreadnought and has a solid satin Sitka Gloss top, so you get a bright and clear sound that sings out with a warm but not overstated bass. Comes with a Taylor hard bag.

Here's what Taylor say about the 214CE

Our solid-wood acoustic/electric line encompasses a rich range of woods and tones, offering something to inspire every type of player. Featuring a cutaway and our exceptional Expression System pickup, you'll always sound your best, whether unplugged or amplified.

Versatility plays front and center on this rosewood laminate 214CE, between the Grand Auditorium body, cutaway and plug-in-and-play readiness of Taylor's ES-T pickup.

Complete with Taylor Hard Bag - blends the protective properties of a hard case with the lightweight portability of a gig bag. Designed to fit both the Grand Auditorium and Dreadnought, it features a tan, 600-denier exterior and a 70-denier interior that's reinforced at the peghead and tail end. Supportive structure includes rigid PVC sidewalls, full-length Correx/EPE foam hard top and back, and an EPE foam neck rest with a hidden internal pocket.

Amazing guitar and well worth the money. Sound-wise, it's bright, clear, lively and loud, with enough bass. It's ridiculously easy to play, the shape is perfect for me and the fretboard feels quick and comfortable. With regards to looks, it's classy, understated and relatively unfussy. Some might interpret the understated look as plain, but with guitars in this league you need to pay double or triple to get fancy inlays.
I originally bought the 210e but within 48 hours realised that the dreadnought shape wasn't right for me and felt uncomfortable. Exchanged no problem. This is my first really nice guitar so it had to be as close to perfect for my budget as I could get. I absolutely love it and prefer it over the Martin's at this level. Overall, very happy indeed.

I was very unsure about this acoustic because of the back and sides. They are made of a laminate and it does really affect the sound. My other guitar is a brunswick and it is also a laminate back and sides but cost far less. I chose the taylor because i thought that with a taylor i'd pick it up and play more but it just sat in the corner once i heard that it wasn't much different to my brunswick. I ended up selling it and buying a takamine EF341 instead. I seriously do not recommend this guitar as it seems that you are paying for a name rather than quality.
