Taylor 214ce-N Classical Nylon Strings Electro Acoustic Guitars With Bag Overview:

A nylon-string acoustic brings an expressive voice to one’s guitar arsenal, and our 214ce-N delivers on all counts — easy playability, inspiring tone, and aesthetic appeal. It starts with a sleek Taylor neck that delivers a comfortable feel and clean intonation. Recent bracing refinements boost the guitar’s overall tonal output, and the solid Sitka spruce top will keep sounding better as it ages. Layered koa back and sides blend resilient construction with rich variegation that makes each model truly unique visually. Modern features include a cutaway for extra fretboard access and Taylor ES-N acoustic electronics, which faithfully capture all the warm, percussive goodness of the nylon sound. Tasteful appointments include white binding, Italian acrylic dot inlays, and satin-finish back and sides with a gloss-finish top. The guitar comes with a protective hardshell gig bag that accommodates an active lifestyle.

Features:

Grand Auditorium

Body Length: 20″ / Body Width: 16″ / Body Depth: 4 5/8″

Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.

  • An original Bob Taylor design introduced in 1994

  • Full in the lower register, present in the midrange, and sparkling on the treble strings

  • Our most popular shape and a good place to begin your search

Our most popular and versatile body shape, the mid-size Grand Auditorium arrived in 1994 bearing refined proportions that fell between a Dreadnought and Grand Concert. While the bigger Dreadnought was traditionally considered a flatpicker’s guitar and the smaller Grand Concert catered to fingerstylists, the GA was designed to deliver on both fronts. The shape produced an original acoustic voice that was big enough to handle medium-strength picking and strumming, yet with impressive balance across the tonal spectrum, especially in the midrange, producing clear, well-defined notes that suited both strumming and fingerstyle playing. The GA’s overall presence tracks well with other instruments both in a studio mix and on stage, and singer-songwriters have embraced its utility both for composing and traveling with one guitar. Many people want a single guitar that can cover a variety of styles, which is why the GA continues to be our bestselling shape. If you want a great all-purpose guitar, the multi-dimensional GA won’t let you down.

Sitka Spruce

As a guitar soundboard, or top, Sitka spruce is the tonewood standard of the modern era. It’s used on 85-90 percent of the guitars that Taylor makes. Its combination of strength and elasticity translates into a broad dynamic range, yielding crisp articulation and allowing for everything from aggressive strumming and flatpicking to fingerpicking. Sitka spruce is Bob Taylor’s personal favorite for an all-around great guitar.

Layered Koa

Like Taylor’s other layered wood options, layered koa features an all-wood laminated construction, in this case with an exterior layer of beautifully figured koa veneer and an interior layer of sapele, separated by a core layer of poplar. Though the tonal properties of layered wood aren’t as complex as solid wood, the construction method enables us to conserve tonewood resources and offer attractive, durable instruments at a more inviting price. A solid spruce top and Taylor craftsmanship ensure a clear, balanced tonal response.

ES-N

The ES-N is a single-source, under-saddle transducer featuring a preamp and tone controls that were customized to complement the nylon-string voice. Our standard Expression System control knobs enable plenty of tone-shaping and preserve the natural design aesthetic. Installed on nylon-string models.

Venetian Cutaway
Standard on all “ce” models in the 300 Series through the Presentation Series, the Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the guitar. The Grand Concert, Grand Auditorium, and Grand Symphony have a steeper slope, while the Dreadnought and Jumbo are a bit flatter. Our Grand Concert nylon-string models also feature a subtle, flatter slope, while our 100 and 200 Series cutaway models incorporate our flattest slope.
