The Taylor 214ce Plus stands as a definitive choice for guitarists seeking a professional-grade instrument that balances performance with practicality. Upgrading the standard 200 Series platform, this model introduces refined aesthetic touches and structural enhancements designed to serve the working musician.
The 214ce Plus combines Taylor’s signature playability with a sophisticated tonewood pairing, resulting in an acoustic-electric guitar that feels at home whether you’re practicing in a living room, recording in a studio, or performing on stage.
A Voice with Vintage Character
At the heart of the 214ce Plus is a top wood treatment usually reserved for higher-end models, giving this instrument a distinct sonic advantage right out of the box. The sound profile is articulate and responsive, capable of handling dynamic strumming and delicate fingerpicking with equal clarity.
Solid Torrefied Spruce Top: The spruce top undergoes a special roasting process called torrefaction, which mimics the aging process of vintage instruments. This delivers a mature, "played-in" warmth and increased resonance from the very first strum.
Layered Indian Rosewood Body: The back and sides are crafted from layered Indian rosewood, providing a sturdy construction that resists changes in humidity while contributing a rich, complex visual aesthetic and a clear, balanced tonal foundation.
C-Class Bracing: Under the hood, Taylor’s C-Class bracing architecture enhances the guitar's volume and sustain, specifically dialing up the low-end presence to ensure a full, robust sound despite the comfortable body size.
Unmatched Versatility and Comfort
The 214ce Plus utilizes the Grand Auditorium body shape, a hallmark of Taylor design known for its ability to cover virtually any musical base. It’s substantial enough to produce plenty of volume but tapered at the waist to sit comfortably in the lap, making it an ideal companion for long practice sessions or gigs.
Grand Auditorium Shape: This proprietary body shape is the ultimate all-purpose design, offering a balanced frequency response that supports flatpickers and fingerstylists alike without favoring one over the other.
Patented Taylor Neck: Known for industry-leading playability, the neck features a comfortable 1-11/16" nut width and a slim profile that relieves hand fatigue, allowing for easier fretting and faster position changes up and down the West African ebony fretboard.
Venetian Cutaway: The soft, round lines of the Venetian cutaway offer more than just a sleek look; they provide unrestricted access to the upper frets, expanding your creative range for solos and high-register chording.
Performance-Ready Electronics and Protection
Designed for the rigors of travel and live performance, the 214ce Plus is equipped with professional-grade electronics and durable protection. It bridges the gap between acoustic purity and amplified power, ensuring your tone translates accurately to any PA system.
Expression System 2 (ES2): Unlike traditional under-saddle pickups that can sound thin or harsh, the ES2 uses an innovative design behind the saddle. This captures the guitar’s dynamics more effectively, providing a natural, amplified tone with minimal need for EQ adjustments.
Full-Gloss Body: A full-body gloss finish not only highlights the stunning grain of the rosewood and spruce but also provides an added layer of durability against the wear and tear of regular use.
Aerocase Included: The guitar ships in Taylor’s Aerocase, which offers the lightweight portability of a gig bag with the structural reinforcement of a hard-shell case, providing peace of mind during transport.
The Reliable Road Warrior
The Taylor 214ce Plus is more than just an upgrade; it’s a complete package for the serious player. By marrying the vintage-inspired tone of torrefied spruce with modern playability and road-ready features, it offers a premium experience at an accessible point. Whether you’re writing your next song or leading a band, the 214ce Plus delivers the reliability and tone you need to sound your best.
Taylor 214ce Plus Features:
Grand Auditorium body shape for versatile performance
Solid torrefied spruce top for aged, warm tone
Layered Indian rosewood back and sides
Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics for natural amplification
C-Class bracing for enhanced volume and bass response

For as long as I can remember, I’ve admired Taylor guitars. The craftsmanship, the clarity of tone, and the elegance of their design always felt a little out of reach—like something reserved for professionals or the lucky few. Today, thanks to AMS, I finally have one in my hands, and it’s hard to pu...

I love getting a new
I love getting a new guitar. There's something special about the sound coming together, finding the right spots, having your fingers just right. Before 2024, when I bought this baby, the only guitar I played was my Taylor 310ce that I bought brand new in 1998. We shared the campfire light many years...

Great Service, But Guitar Needed Neck Reset
Ordering through American Musical Supply was seamless and shipping was quick. The guitar arrived factory sealed and in overall good condition, which I appreciated.
That said, I was disappointed to find it needed a neck reset shortly after receiving it. The guitar was built in 2023, so it appears it...
