Exceptional tonal warmth and depth

The Taylor 214ce-K Koa Grand Auditorium (2024) features a solid torrefied spruce top, giving the guitar a warm, mature sound with enhanced resonance. This unique roasting process adds depth to the tone, offering a full-bodied character with clear projection. Layered Hawaiian koa back and sides provide both durability and a naturally sweet tone that evolves and expands the more you play. Taylor has constructed a truly advanced tonal masterpiece which opens up and warms to your own personal playstyle.

Enhanced volume and sustain

Taylor’s innovative C-Class bracing gives the 214ce-K increased volume and sustain, as well as a pronounced low-end power. This advanced bracing pattern allows the guitar’s top to resonate more freely, creating a balanced yet powerful tone that enhances your musical expression. Such an intricately crafted interior stands as a testament to Taylor's expert musical craftmanship

Premium electronics for amplified clarity

Taylor stands at the forefront of acoustic guitar electronics with their revolutionary behind-the-saddle pickup design. Equipped with the Expression System 2, the 214ce-K captures the guitar’s natural dynamics for an authentic amplified sound. The behind-the-saddle design of the ES2 preserves the full range of the guitar’s tonal properties, offering a clear and natural sound in any amplified setting. This makes it an ideal choice if you want authentic and unobstructed sound production.

Comfortable playability and aesthetic appeal

The Grand Auditorium body shape of the 214ce-K provides a comfortable playing experience with a versatile tonal profile that suits both strumming and fingerstyle playing. Taylor's unique Grand Auditorium body shape is designed to offer a refined middle-way between Dreadnought and Grand Concert shapes, maximising playability across the tonal spectrum. The Venetian cutaway gives you smooth access to higher frets, allowing for easy movement across the neck. With its West African Crelicam ebony fretboard, chrome hardware, and beautiful natural matte finish, the Taylor 214ce-K is as visually beautiful as it is tonally exceptional.
