The Working Musician's Secret Weapon

Meet the Taylor 214ce Plus—a guitar that hits way above its weight class. This isn't just another acoustic; it's a versatile workhorse that blends premium features with road-ready reliability. The first thing you'll notice is the **solid torrefied spruce top**, which has been roasted to perfection. This process gives you the warm, played-in sound of a vintage guitar right out of the box—think woody warmth, a punchy midrange, and trebles that bloom with character. Paired with layered Indian Rosewood back and sides, the result is a rich, full-bodied tone that's as good for quiet songwriting sessions as it is for cutting through a mix on stage.

All-Purpose Performer: The Grand Auditorium Body

The Grand Auditorium shape is Taylor's signature for a reason. It's the Swiss Army knife of acoustic body styles—big enough to deliver powerful volume for strumming, yet focused and articulate enough for delicate fingerstyle playing. The Venetian cutaway isn't just for looks; it gives you effortless access to the upper frets, encouraging you to explore the entire fretboard. Whether you're a singer-songwriter, a weekend warrior, or a dedicated pro, this guitar's balanced voice and comfortable feel make it a true do-it-all instrument.

Effortless Playability & Stage-Ready Electronics

Taylor necks are legendary for a reason, and this one is no exception. The slim, Standard Carve neo-tropical mahogany neck is a joy to play, with a buttery-smooth matte finish that never gets sticky. Combined with the West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard, it feels fast, comfortable, and ready for hours of playing without fatigue. And when it's time to plug in, the onboard **Expression System® 2 (ES2) electronics** capture the guitar's natural acoustic voice with stunning accuracy. Its behind-the-saddle pickup design provides a dynamic, responsive plugged-in tone that sounds like your guitar, only louder.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum! Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal “on the phone” description of this guitar. Thank you for looking at our listing!
