The Taylor 214ce-N represents a seamless meeting point between classical tradition and the modern acoustic experience. Designed for players who crave the snap and warmth of nylon strings but prefer the feel of a steel-string neck, this Grand Auditorium model bridges the gap with ease.
Whether you’re exploring flamenco techniques, adding texture to a pop arrangement, or simply seeking a different sonic color for your songwriting, the 214ce-N delivers a familiar, inviting feel with a distinctively sophisticated voice.
At the heart of the 214ce-N is a pairing of woods selected to maximize projection and character. The top is crafted from solid torrefied Sitka spruce, treated with a special roasting process that mimics the cellular changes of aging wood. This results in a sound that feels played-in and mature right out of the case, offering sweetness and resonance that typically takes decades to achieve. Paired with layered walnut back and sides, the guitar produces a balanced frequency response that supports the nylon attack with crisp articulation.
One of the biggest hurdles for steel-string players switching to nylon is the typically wide, flat neck of a classical guitar. The 214ce-N solves this with a crossover-inspired neck profile. With a nut width of 1-7/8 inches, it offers enough spacing for intricate fingerstyle work without feeling cumbersome to hands accustomed to standard acoustics. The Grand Auditorium body shape is equally welcoming, providing a comfortable lap feel and a versatile sonic footprint that handles both light touch and spirited strumming.
Capturing the nuance of nylon strings in a live setting can be challenging, but the 214ce-N is equipped to handle the stage with grace. It features Taylor’s ES-N electronics, a preamp and pickup system designed specifically to complement the unique movement and tonal properties of nylon strings. Unlike standard piezo systems that can sometimes sound sterile, the ES-N preserves the organic, percussive nature of the instrument, ensuring that what the audience hears is a faithful representation of your acoustic tone.
The Taylor 214ce-N is an invitation to expand your musical palette without leaving your comfort zone. It combines the mellow timbre of nylon strings with the reliability and playability that has made Taylor a household name. Completed with a durable structured gig bag for protection on the go, this instrument is an ideal choice for the guitarist looking to diversify their sound.
