The 214ce DLX Special Edition Blacktop brings a luxurious aesthetic to one of Taylor’s most versatile and approachable Grand Auditorium platforms. Its torrefied spruce top features a rich black finish, while layered Indian rosewood back and sides are accented by an artfully hand-sprayed shaded edgeburst. Beneath the striking aesthetic is the comfortable playing experience and versatile acoustic voice that have made the 214ce a player favorite. Torrefied spruce contributes warm, played-in character, while C-Class bracing delivers strong projection and a balanced response across the register. The result is a clear, versatile voice that works beautifully for strumming, fingerstyle and everything in between.

A slender satin-finish neck provides a smooth, comfortable feel. White appointments provide a crisp contrast to the black finish, including a three-ring white rosette, white heel cap and white body binding traced by thin white purfling on the top and sides. Satin black tuners and a black pickguard complement the Blacktop aesthetic, while the gloss body finish adds depth and luster to the guitar’s distinctive look. Onboard ES2 electronics deliver natural amplified acoustic tone for live performance, while a Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Case offers premium protection from home to gig.
