      Taylor 214CE-G Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar with Gloss Finish (423727)
Availability:  


Quality build, premiere woods, and electronics make the Taylor 214CE-G 6-string of style and strength. One strum backs everything up with great tone.

Taylor's 214ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar features a desirable gloss finish that you'll take a shine to. The Grand Auditorium was the first guitar shape designed from scratch by Bob Taylor. It was unveiled to commemorate the company's 20th Anniversary in 1994, and since then it has more than lived up to its promise. Although the Taylor GA acoustic-electric guitar has the width and depth of a dreadnought, its narrower waist gives it the appearance of a smaller instrument, adds treble "zing" across the guitar's tonal spectrum, sharpens the definition of individual notes, and also enables it to rest comfortably in the lap. Because Taylor removes mass from the width of the GA's braces, the guitar top moves faster, resulting in a snappy, bell-like tone. The Taylor GA acoustic-electric guitar is designed to be a strong fingerpicking guitar that also can handle medium strumming, and is exceptionally versatile. The cutaway feature on the Taylor guitar's body makes reaching the upper-register frets a snap, giving you comfortable access up and down the ebony fret board.

The Taylor 214ce guitar features a solid Sitka spruce top, a top-quality wood, known for its balanced tone and clarity. The Indian rosewood back and sides, another premiere wood, produces rich, booming sound, with the perfect element of projection. The 25-1/2" scale, 1-11/16" nut width, and 15" radius adds comfort for intricate movements up and down the ebony fretboard.

The NT neck joint fits into a specially cut pocket in the body of the Taylor guitar. The frets are supported equally by the neck, creating a more stable playing surface, one that is continually straight, from the bottom to the top of the neck. The mahogany neck on the 214ce acoustic-electric guitar is strong and provides added presence and clarity in the tone, and the ebony bridge and fretboard bring out lasting sustain.

At the heart of the Taylor 214ceacoustic-electric guitar lies an integrated electronics system, letting you dial in and amplify the guitar quickly and effortlessly. The electronics include bass, treble, and volume controls, for an individualized plugged-in experience. Taylor tuners keep the Grand Auditorium guitar in precise tuning and chrome hardware add an extra sleek look to this already stunning offering from Taylor. You won't believe the sound.

  • Taylor quality?

    As reviewed by Gary Mitchell on 1/6/2012

    Played one in the store and love it. Purchased one got it home out of the box fret buzz off the charts. Took it back tech adjusted the neck and it was not acceptable to me. Back to GC again this time went back into the acoustic room and checked out the Made in America Martins in the same price range as the Mexican made Taylor. Wheres the quality control at Taylor? The Martin plays flawless and looks great in our collection. Hats off to the sales department for a painless exchange in Orange,Conn.

  • Unbeatable Sound and Quality for the Price

    As reviewed by Alex on 7/17/2011

    I've owned this guitar for about 2 months now and I still can't get over how amazing it sounds. It has a beautiful full tone that really sparkles on the highs and fills a room with richness. It's also very aesthetically pleasing. Nothing at this price level or below sounds as good though some come close. I HIGHLY recommend this guitar to anyone looking for an acoustic, unless you are willing to spend more for the Taylor 314 or better...

  • Great Guitar at a Great Price

    As reviewed by Matt on 7/4/2011

    I must admit, I wasn't too excited when i was told this guitar was made in Mexico. I've always loved American-made guitars because I'm much more likely to get a better quality instrument. However, my current budget didn't allow for a 300 series Taylor (which IS American-made)so I picked up this guitar. Immediatly I was impressed with the make and feel of it. It was surprisingly light, but it didn't feel flimsy. I examined the body and neck and everything was well assembled and sturdy. I began to play and was shocked at what I was hearing. It was a very crisp and bright sound, not at all what I expected from an imported guitar. The sound just seemed to carry, it had great projection. I then picked up a much higher priced Taylor and began to play for a comparison between the two. Honestly, I believe this guitar to be a much brighter and louder guitar. I still believe that American-made is the way to go, but if you can't afford a 300 series, then don't be afraid to pick this guitar up and play, it's amazing. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the action is a little difficult, but I'm sure I can get it set up so that it's not a problem. The strings sit pretty high on the nut, so it probably just needs to be filed down. All in all, I would definitely get this guitar over anything else in it's price range!
