Taylor 214ce DLX Sunset Blvd Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural

Steeped in California energy from the moment you pick it up, the Taylor 214ce DLX Sunset Blvd acoustic-electric guitar arrives as part of the Sunset Blvd Collection made exclusively for Guitar Center. Inspired by the musicians who’ve filled the Sunset Strip with songs for decades, this Grand Auditorium blends torrefied tonewoods, deluxe appointments and Taylor’s stage-ready voice into one collectable instrument. A solid torrefied Sitka spruce top gives the guitar a seasoned response straight from the case, while the figured ovangkol body glows beneath a gloss finish that feels at home under bright California lights. With custom Sunset Blvd detailing, gold hardware and Taylor ES2 electronics, it’s built for the player who wants an acoustic guitar that plays as elegantly as it looks and carries a little piece of Hollywood history.

Torrefied Sitka Spruce Meets Figured Ovangkol for California Warmth

The 214ce DLX Sunset Blvd responds with the kind of maturity players usually have to wait years to hear. Torrefied Sitka spruce brings a warm, broken-in sound that breathes with richer overtones and longer sustain. Layered figured ovangkol back and sides add visual flair and a full-bodied voice that balances bright top-end sparkle with strong mids and supportive bass. Designed in Taylor’s Grand Auditorium shape, this combination handles fingerstyle nuance, dynamic strumming and articulate flatpicking with equal confidence, making it a versatile companion on stage or on the road.

Maple Neck and Ebony Fingerboard for Smooth, Effortless Play

Smooth feel defines the 214ce DLX experience. Its hard rock maple neck offers stability and snap, while the satin finish keeps your fretting hand moving easily through intricate chords or big open voicings. A West African ebony fingerboard provides a sleek, responsive surface with comfortable spacing at a 1.69" nut width and a 25.5" scale. Whether you’re exploring delicate fingerstyle passages or pushing into full-volume rhythms, this neck feels fast, familiar and ready to inspire.

Taylor ES2 Electronics Capture the Guitar’s Natural Voice

When you plug in, the ES2 system makes sure the Sunset Blvd model keeps its character intact. Three individually calibrated sensors sit behind the saddle, preserving the guitar’s resonance and dynamic range without compressing the tone. Paired with Taylor’s intuitive preamp controls, the ES2 delivers a natural acoustic voice across coffeehouse sets, session work and full band mixes. The guitar’s warmth, clarity and detail stay center stage no matter where you perform.

Deluxe Details Honor Taylor Craft and Guitar Center Heritage

Exclusive touches elevate this model into a true collector’s piece. A gloss finish shows off the grain of the figured ovangkol, and Italian acrylic diamond inlays add refined elegance along the fingerboard. Gold Taylor tuning machines provide precise stability and complement the custom Sunset Blvd aesthetic. Paired with a deluxe hardshell case, this guitar is built to protect your investment through years of playing, traveling and recording.

Celebrating the Spirit of Sunset Blvd.

More than a Grand Auditorium with premium woods, the Taylor 214ce DLX Sunset Blvd honors the musicians who shaped Los Angeles’ most storied music-related street. Designed in partnership with Guitar Center and crafted with meticulous attention to tone and feel, it’s an instrument built for players who want comfort, clarity, versatility and a little bit of Hollywood history in their hands. From bedroom writing sessions to late-night gigs, this Sunset Blvd model is made to inspire songs worth playing under bright lights.
