Taylor 214ce BLK Plus Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar
The Taylor 214ce BLK Plus is a stunning acoustic-electric that’s designed to be your ultimate musical workhorse. With its sleek black finish and versatile Grand Auditorium body, it's as ready for the stage as it is for a quiet night of songwriting on the couch. This guitar performs beautifully, whether you're a heavy strummer, a precise flatpicker, or a delicate fingerstyle player.
It’s the kind of guitar that feels instantly familiar, like a well-worn leather jacket — comfortable, reliable, and effortlessly cool. The 214ce BLK Plus delivers that classic Taylor clarity and playability, making it an easy choice for both seasoned performers and aspiring musicians looking for a high-value instrument that will grow with them. It’s more than just a guitar; it’s a dependable partner for every step of your musical journey.
Sound That Takes Center Stage
Get ready for a rich, dynamic tone that punches well above its weight class. The 214ce BLK Plus is built to deliver a balanced sound that’s articulate, warm, and ready to record right out of the box.
Solid Torrefied Spruce Top: The magic starts here. Torrefaction is a special roasting process that ages the wood, giving you the warm, mellow character of a vintage guitar from day one. It creates a top that’s incredibly responsive, providing a powerful projection and rich sustain that just gets better with age.
Layered Big Leaf Maple Back & Sides: Not just for looks, the layered maple construction provides a sturdy, climate-resilient foundation for the guitar. Tonally, it adds a touch of brightness and focus that helps your notes cut through the mix, making it perfect for both solo and band settings.
Upgraded Bracing: Inside the guitar, upgraded internal bracing optimizes the top's vibration, resulting in a louder, more dynamic sound with a fuller low-end response. It’s the engine that drives this guitar’s impressive tonal output.
Feels as Good as it Sounds
Taylor guitars are famous for their comfortable feel, and the 214ce BLK Plus is no exception. It’s designed to be so playable that you’ll forget you’re even holding it.
Grand Auditorium Body Shape: Taylor’s signature body shape is a versatile choice for acoustic guitars. It’s big enough to produce rich volume and bass but slim enough to stay comfortable for smaller players. It strikes the perfect balance for any playing style.
Patented Taylor Neck: This isn't just any guitar neck; it's a game-changer. The patented design ensures a straight, stable neck that maintains perfect intonation. Combined with a slim profile, it feels fast and comfortable, letting your fingers fly across the fretboard with ease.
West African Ebony Fretboard: Known for its silky-smooth feel and durability, the ebony fretboard offers a premium playing surface. It provides a crisp attack and adds a subtle brightness to your tone, while the Venetian cutaway gives you effortless access to the upper frets for soaring solos.
Stage-Ready Looks and Electronics
With its striking black gloss finish and gig-ready electronics, the 214ce BLK Plus is born for the spotlight. It's a true head-turner with the performance to back it up.
Expression System 2 (ES2) Electronics: This revolutionary pickup design captures more of the guitar's dynamic properties. When you plug in, you get a warm, natural amplified sound that truly reflects the guitar’s acoustic voice, without that dreaded "quack" of lesser systems.
Black Gloss Finish & White Binding: The sleek, all-black gloss finish gives this guitar a bold, modern look that commands attention. Contrasting white binding adds a touch of class, beautifully outlining the guitar's curves and creating a sharp, sophisticated aesthetic.
Reinforced Aerocase: Forget clunky, heavy hard cases. The included Aerocase is lightweight yet incredibly sturdy, providing robust protection that’s ready for the road. It’s the perfect way to keep your prized guitar safe whether you’re heading to a gig or a jam session.
When You Need Looks AND Tone
With its blend of premium materials, player-focused design, and exceptional tone, the Taylor 214ce BLK Plus is a guitar that invites you to play more and create more. It’s a reliable, inspiring instrument ready to handle any musical situation with style and grace.

A Somewhat Disappointing Taylor Experience. . . But!
This was, by far, my worst experience purchasing anything through AMS but I do not hold them responsible. That falls exclusively on FedEx and a litle bit on Taylor.
FedEx. . . paid for overnight shipping and got the guitar five days later. FedEx support was terrible. They promised two different del...
