Learn More About the Taylor Guitars 214e Model

With a satin solid spruce top and Indian rosewood laminate back and sides, the affordably priced 214e is an impressive introduction to the dreadnought Taylor playing experience.

The appealing tones and subtle nuances of a solid sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood laminate backs and sides are amplified with clarity and warmth, thanks to Taylor's ES-T under-saddle pickup.

This model of the Taylor 214e guitar is designed with the left-handed guitarist in mind.

Grand Auditorium Guitars: A Taylor Tradition the Taylor 214e Continues

Introduced in 1994 to commemorate Taylor’s 20th Anniversary, the Grand Auditorium would go on to establish itself as a definitive Bob Taylor original. Tonally, the guitar embodied the qualities of balance, clarity, and versatility that became hallmark Taylor traits. Visually, the shape gave the world an equally balanced and refined aesthetic of smooth curves. In both respects, the GA was at once big enough and small enough to cover a lot of ground.

The goal, Bob says, was simply to make a guitar that was big like a dreadnought, but without a dreadnought� �s traditionally boomy sound, even though the Taylor Dreadnought wasn ��t boomy compared to other guitar brands. "I was looking for a good, clear tone that had volume when you played fingerstyle, which was pretty popular at the time, but then when you strummed didn� t have too much bass."

The GA has the width and depth of a Dreadnought, but its tapered waist and contours give it the appearance of a smaller instrument, making it comfortable to play. The tonal balance means it ��s full in the lower register, present in the midrange, and sparkling on the treble strings.

The GA's tonal balance also made it a favorite of engineers.

"You put a mic in front of the guitar and set everything to zero, you turn on the tape, and you play," Bob explains. "A lot of studio owners and engineers bought the GA just to put in the studio, because when things started going bad with players' guitars during a session, the engineer would say, 'We can get this job done today if you just play this guitar.' A lot of it was the shape. We made a few bracing changes, but we depended on the shape to change that tone."

Taylor Guitars 214e, Grand Auditorium, Solid Sitka Spruce Top, Rosewood Back/Sides, ES-T, Left Review

I purchased my Taylor 214e in 2008. Since then, I have played this guitar, nearly every day. It came via FedEx on a day that was 101 degrees outside. The back of it was really bowed because of the heat and I thought I would have to send it back. After letting her sit on a stand for a few hours, the wood contracted and it was perfect.

From the first tuning and strum across the strings, the action, set up, tone, and overall comfort/playability was among the best guitars I have ever played. The pick up system compliments this guitar extremely well. It has a unique voice that, in my opinion, exceeds the sounds of some of Taylors more expensive models. When strummed hard, some Taylors seemed a little, "jangly" sounding to me. This guitar begs to be played hard, and can bark hard licked chords aggressively in hard strumming. Sounds as solid as my Gibson J160e when pushed.

That in itself is amazing to me. Because the clarity of this guitar when finger picked is shimmering and crystal clear. Other musicians have commented about the "rare sweetness" of the sound. It is hauntingly beautiful and nearly harp-like in the upper register of the fretboard. From bass notes to high E, it is as well balanced as they come. Almost like my own little band in one instrument!

There is not one thing I would change about this guitar. Should I ever have to sell my collection, this would be the very last one I would be selling. If you are just starting out on guitar, this one will reward you instantly each time you pick it up. If you are a seasoned guitarist, give it a shot before you plop down the big bucks for the solid wood models. This model can replicate everything they've got and then some!
