Taylor 214ce-K SB Plus Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar
The Taylor 214ce-K SB Plus is designed to offer a balance of visual appeal, playability, and sonic performance. By combining a specially treated solid spruce top with distinctively grained Hawaiian Koa, this Grand Auditorium model delivers a sound that is both warm and clear. Whether you’re recording in a studio, performing on stage, or practicing at home, this instrument provides a reliable and versatile experience for guitarists of all styles.
Refined Tone and Aesthetics
At the heart of this guitar’s sound is the relationship between its construction and materials. The solid top has been treated to simulate the sound of an older, broken-in instrument, while the back and sides offer structural stability and a striking look.
Solid Torrefied Spruce Top: The spruce top undergoes a special roasting process that removes moisture, resulting in a slightly aged aesthetic and a sound profile characterized by increased warmth and sweetness.
Layered Hawaiian Koa: The back and sides feature layered koa, which provides visual depth and durability against changes in humidity, making it a dependable choice for travel.
C-Class Bracing: Under the soundboard, Taylor’s proprietary bracing architecture enhances the guitar's volume and sustain while boosting low-end response for a fuller tone.
Versatility by Design
The 214ce-K SB Plus is built on Taylor’s most popular body shape, the Grand Auditorium. This design is a versatile workhorse, handling both heavy strumming and delicate fingerpicking with equal clarity.
Grand Auditorium Shape: Ideally sized between a Dreadnought and a Grand Concert, this body shape offers a comfortable playing experience with a balanced frequency output that fits well in any mix.
The Taylor Neck: Known for its comfortable profile, the mahogany neck and ebony fretboard provide a smooth feel that reduces hand fatigue during long playing sessions.
Venetian Cutaway: The body design includes a soft, rounded cutaway that allows for easy access to the upper frets, expanding your range for solos and higher-register chording.
Stage-Ready Performance
This model comes equipped with professional-grade features that make it ready for live performance right out of the box. From the electronics to the finish, every detail is crafted to support the working musician.
Expression System 2 Electronics: Unlike traditional piezo pickups, this behind-the-saddle design captures the guitar’s dynamic properties more naturally for a clear, authentic amplified tone.
Shaded Edgeburst Finish: The top features a carefully applied burst finish that complements the natural grain of the Koa and adds a classic, timeless look to the instrument.
Reinforced AeroCase: The guitar ships in an AeroCase, which offers the protection of a hard-shell case with the lightweight portability of a gig bag.
The Ideal Axe
The Taylor 214ce-K SB Plus is a top choice for musicians seeking a high-quality acoustic-electric guitar. Combining advanced craftsmanship, premium materials, and practical features, it offers exceptional value for those looking to enhance their sound. Built for reliability, it delivers consistent tone and playability in any setting.

American Musical did it again
Thanks to AMS (which I've used several times) I ended up with another beautiful guitar. A Taylor 214CE Koa Plus. I love this guitar and it plays like a dream. It came setup right out of the case (which is nice also). Thank you AMS!

I'm not digging this guitar.
I'm not digging this guitar. It doesn't "feel" right to me and the action is way to high. Tonaly it does nothing for me. I've owened a 224 CEK previously and the feel and sound was far superior. I'm 63 been playing and making guitars for 40 years. Will be returning this one.
