Overview
214ce-K DLX
Players seeking an all-purpose acoustic guitar with striking looks to match its rich tone are sure to love the 214ce-K DLX. This versatile Grand Auditorium boasts back and sides of beautifully figured layered Hawaiian koa paired with a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top, combining for a vibrant yet warm tone with room-filling projection and a clear, balanced profile across the frequency spectrum. Our special roasting recipe for the top adds a dash of warmth and sweetness that you'd expect from an older guitar, while the cantilevered V-Class bracing inside dials up more volume, longer sustain and clearer harmony between notes. This Deluxe model is capped with upgraded appointments like gold hardware, a full-body gloss finish, and Sentinel fretboard inlays.

Grand Auditorium
Our flagship shape offers comfort and cross-genre utility, with a clear, balanced tone suited for both fingerstyle and strumming.
Hawaiian Koa
Few woods carry the allure of Hawaiian koa, with its gorgeous figure and sweet, complex tone.
Torrefied Spruce
Treated with our special roasting process, torrefied spruce tops deliver all the clarity, balance and projection you’d expect from a traditional spruce top with an extra dash of warmth and played-in depth.
Expression System® 2
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Venetian Cutaway

Questions & Answers
Preguntas frecuentes
4 questions
One of the photos above show the sides being a dark brown koa, while other main photos show a lighter yellow type tone Koa. Which one is accurate please?
Both photos are accurate. Since Koa is a natural material, its appearance can vary quite a bit — sometimes showing darker brown hues, and other times leaning toward a lighter golden tone. Each set of Koa is unique, so those variations you see in the photos are a true representation of the natural beauty and range of the wood.
What's the difference between the 214ce k, and the dlx?
The Taylor 214ce-K and 214ce-K DLX share the same Grand Auditorium body shape, layered Hawaiian koa back and sides, Sitka spruce top, and Expression System 2 electronics, but they differ in aesthetics, hardware, and overall presentation. The 214ce-K features a matte finish with simpler appointments like 4mm dot inlays, white binding, and chrome die-cast tuners, and it comes with a tan structured gig bag. In contrast, the 214ce-K DLX offers a full gloss finish, cream binding, upgraded small diamond fretboard inlays, gold Taylor-branded tuners, and a brown deluxe hardshell case. While both deliver the signature Taylor tone and playability, the DLX model presents a more polished, premium look and feel, making it ideal for players seeking enhanced visual appeal and the added protection of a hardshell case

An Instrument That Inspires Me Every Day
At 51 years old, I have been playing acoustic guitar for many years and have spent countless hours trying instruments from many respected brands and across a wide range of price categories.
When I purchased my Taylor 214ce K DLX, I expected a very good guitar. What I did not expect was how much it would inspire me every time I picked it up.
From the very first notes, I was impressed by its clarity, balance, sustain, and responsiveness. As a fingerstyle player, I appreciate an instrument that can faithfully capture every detail of my playing, and this guitar does exactly that. The notes are articulate, the bass is warm and controlled, and the overall tonal balance is exceptional.
What impressed me most is how confidently this guitar stands alongside instruments that cost considerably more. Over the years, I have played many excellent acoustic guitars, yet I often found myself preferring the tone, feel, and overall playing experience of my 214ce K DLX. Its voice is rich, expressive, and beautifully balanced, making it equally enjoyable for both fingerstyle playing and strumming.
The craftsmanship is outstanding, the playability is effortless, and the ES2 electronics reproduce the guitar’s natural character beautifully when amplified. Every detail reflects the care and attention that Taylor puts into its instruments.
In my opinion, the 214ce K DLX represents exceptional value for money. It delivers a level of sound quality, comfort, and consistency that exceeds expectations and rivals many guitars in higher price ranges.
After all these years of playing, this is one of the few guitars that continues to make me smile every time I pick it up. It has become my favorite acoustic guitar and a constant source of inspiration.
Thank you, Taylor, for building such a wonderful instrument.

A beautiful looking and sounding guitar.
I've long wished for a Taylor guitar and finally decided to purchase this model as it was somewhat affordable, yet, still maintaining the famous Taylor quality. First let me say that this is an absolutely gorgeous looking guitar, and that's putting it mildly.
Of greater importance is the sound, and this was somewhat surprising, as after playing much higher end models costing twice as much, and more, this really held its own. However, sound is personal as we all may look for or desire something different. For me, as a fingerstyle guitarist, the balance of lows, mids and highs is just right. There's a purity of tone that I appreciate.
As for playability, and yes the neck, all I can say is that this makes me want to play more and that says a lot about this guitar. So far I've stuck with the included 12 gauge but will try out the 11 gauge soon. I should mention I have not tried to amplify yet but will soon.
The headstock is great and I love the tuning heads, they are well made and are very smooth. Very important point I think. Another thing that impressed me greatly was that out of the box so to speak, the action was perfect. Distance equal all across the fetboard. Very nice.
If one is wanting a Taylor, by all means try as many models as possible, but for a fingerstyle player, I think you will discover that this model is a very happy medium. It is a superb guitar.
