Store finder
The Taylor 214ce Plus represents all that has made Taylor a trusted and sought-after instrument: impeccable design, fine appointments, and signature Taylor tone. This Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric features a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top with layered bigleaf maple back and sides. Maple back and sides bring spruce’s power into focus with warm, lively clarity, energetic articulatuion, and lush, well-rounded sustain. The 214ce Plus enhances Sitka spruce’s prized sound with a special roasting procedure (torrefaction) that removes moisture and enhances musicality (while reducing weight and enriching color and woodgrain). A hard rock maple neck with an African ebony fingerboard offers incredible playability and response, and guitarists welcome the deep Venetian cutaway’s improved access to higher notes on the fingerboard. Moreover, the 214ce Plus features signature Taylor ES2 electronics that make recording and playing onstage a smooth and empowering experience like no other.
Taylor’s Expression System 2 delivers incredibly natural sound with full dynamics
Traditionally, acoustic-electric guitars have employed under-saddle piezo transducers, but Taylor has discovered a better way. Their revolutionary Expression System 2 uses a proprietary pickup behind the saddle. The pickup’s three individually calibrated, precisely positioned piezo-electric sensors respond organically to the instrument’s acoustic energy as it’s transferred through the saddle. In concert with Taylor’s custom-designed preamp (which delivers a 25% hotter signal), the result is a more natural acoustic sound with incredible dynamic range and responsiveness to your pick or finger attack.
Top-notch appointments and Plus series design
The 214ce Plus is outfitted with the kind of top-notch appointments and build details that have made Taylors much beloved by guitarists the world over. Magic happens inside the sound chamber where C-Class bracing provides heightened dynamic sensitivity and mature, balanced tone. A NuBone nut and Micarta saddle give the 214ce an extra “something” in every note and every chord. Lastly, each 214ce Plus body is double-bound and embellished with a striking rosette for premium looks that punch well above this guitar’s tantalizing price.
