The Taylor Guitars 214ce Plus Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar features the brand's signature body shape, solid Sitka spruce top and layered Indian rosewood back and sides. The 214ce Plus blends clear, balanced tone with a comfortable feel that appeals to players of all levels. At the heart of this model is Taylor's groundbreaking Expression System 2, which employs a piezo pickup to capture the guitar's lively acoustic properties and translates into a dynamic plugged-in sound. The 214ce Plus also sports premium appointments like black plastic binding, a full-body gloss finish and Venetian cutaway for upper-fret access.

Revolutionary Taylor ES2 Electronics Provide Natural Amplified Tone

While acoustic-electric guitars have traditionally used under-saddle pickups, the 214ce Plus features Taylor's proprietary Expression System 2. Its piezo pickup is positioned behind the saddle to respond organically to the instrument's acoustic vibrations. Working with Taylor's custom-designed preamp, which provides a 25% hotter signal, the result is an amplified tone with incredible range, nuance and responsiveness.

Premium Appointments and Details Ensure Long-Lasting Quality

From the NuBone nut and Micarta saddle to the forward-shifted bracing pattern, the 214ce Plus is built with components that enhance tone and durability. The smooth Venetian cutaway provides access to higher frets, while multi-ply binding accents the body's curves. A matching AeroCase gig bag protects the guitar during transport and storage.
