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.

Grand Auditorium

Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.

Big Leaf Maple

Though mostly known as a body wood, maple offers a dry, midrange-centric tone profile when used as a soundboard.

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

The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
