The Taylor 214ce-N Plus Sunset Blvd nylon-string Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar combines Taylor's renowned craftsmanship with a design that pays tribute to the legendary Guitar Center on Sunset Boulevard. Featuring a solid torrefied spruce top, layered rosewood back and sides, and Taylor's proprietary nylon-string bracing, this guitar delivers a warm, articulate tone with exceptional projection. The Venetian cutaway provides effortless access to higher frets, while the striking Sunset Edgeburst finish and Italian acrylic diamond inlays give it a distinctive visual appeal. Equipped with Taylor's ES-N electronics, this model ensures a faithful amplified tone, making it a versatile choice for both stage and studio use.

Solid Torrefied Spruce Top for Enhanced Dynamics

The 214ce-N Plus features a solid torrefied spruce top, which undergoes a specialized heat treatment to deliver a matured, played-in tonal quality. This process enhances the guitar's ability to project sound, offering a wider dynamic range and improved harmonic complexity. Combined with layered rosewood back and sides, the instrument produces a well-balanced voice with a warm low end, clear trebles and a slightly rounded midrange. Whether you're fingerpicking intricate nylon-string passages or strumming open chords, this guitar offers a responsive, full-bodied tone that fills any space with clarity and resonance.

Comfortable Grand Auditorium Body With Venetian Cutaway

Taylor's Grand Auditorium body shape is a hallmark of versatility, offering a balance of comfort and projection that suits both delicate fingerpicking and robust strumming. The slightly narrower waist of the guitar ensures a natural, ergonomic playing position, making it equally comfortable whether seated or standing. The Venetian cutaway enhances the playing experience by providing easy access to higher frets, allowing players to execute complex solos or extended chord voicings effortlessly. Its design ensures that this model is as playable as it is sonically impressive.

Taylor ES-N Electronics for Authentic Amplified Tone

Designed specifically for nylon-string guitars, Taylor's ES-N electronics capture the natural warmth and clarity of this instrument's acoustic tone. The under-saddle piezo pickup provides a transparent, accurate representation of the guitar's voice, while onboard controls for volume, bass and treble allow for precise tonal adjustments. Whether you're performing live or recording in the studio, the ES-N system ensures that every subtle nuance of your playing is faithfully reproduced, making this guitar an excellent option for amplified performances.

Premium Details and Durable Construction

The 214ce-N Plus combines elegant aesthetics with practical durability. Its golden-brown Sunset Edgeburst finish highlights the natural grain of the spruce top, while Italian acrylic diamond inlays and faux pearl button tuners add a touch of sophistication. The genuine West African ebony fingerboard and bridge offer a smooth playing surface and long-lasting performance. Paired with a lightweight yet sturdy AeroCase, this guitar is built for reliable transport and protection, ensuring it stays in excellent condition whether at home, in the studio or on the road.

    I paid extra for the heat treated top… I was lucky that they had the standard model and this one in stock and there was really no comparison. The voice and tones are definitely worth the additional dollars. The 47 mm nut width was a big plus for me. Also as the STANDARD wide nut on Spanish guitars can be a bit much.
