Featuring a striking all-black finish and a solid torrefied spruce top, the versatile 214ce-BLK Plus is a great choice for both beginners and working musicians. Our special roasting process brings a warm, played-in character to this Grand Auditorium's all-purpose tone, adding up to a bold, balanced sound that performs beautifully in all styles and playing applications. Musicians of all skill levels will appreciate the slender Taylor neck profile and its slightly narrower width, which offers a relaxed feel for your fretting hand. Inside, our C-Class bracing dials up the response with louder volume, longer sustain and a boost to low-end power. And with our ES2 electronics providing clear, authentic plugged-in tone, the 214ce-BLK Plus is up to the task in any scenario.
