This is a gorgeous guitar In wonderful playing condition. The action is comfortable and it stays in tune perfectly. With only minor play wear and cosmetic blemishes, I would say that the condition is closer to ”excellent”. The electronics work as they would and the guitar sounds full and resonant both acoustically and amplified. The guitar has been kept in a properly humidified environment. I live on a dry climate so I would suggest that you research your personal climate conditions and adjust humidification practices as appropriate. The guitar comes with the original hard case which is visibly used but functions as it should to protect the guitar. The case has one broken latch (as pictured) but the other latches hold the case top down sufficiently. This is a high quality guitar that will bring you years of playing enjoyment. I pack and ship very well, the guitar will be detuned, and covered by Reverb insurance. The stand featured in the images is not included in the sale.

Details from the web:
The Taylor 214ce DLX is a premium, stage-ready Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar that elevates Taylor's popular 200 Series with upgraded aesthetics, hardware, and protection. It combines a solid torrefied or standard Sitka spruce top with premium layered tonewood back and sides, making it a highly reliable and visually striking instrument for both live performances and recording. 

• Finish: Features a full-body high-gloss finish, whereas the standard model typically has a gloss top with satin back and sides.
• Hardware: Upgraded with premium polished gold or chrome Taylor-branded tuning machines instead of standard chrome die-cast tuners.
• Inlays: Outfitted with elegant Italian acrylic Small Diamond or Sentinel fretboard inlays rather than basic 4mm dots.
• Case: Includes a heavy-duty Taylor deluxe hardshell case for robust protection, replacing the standard structured gig bag. 

Performance & Specifications:

the Taylor 214ce DLX is heavily praised by reviewers on platforms like MusicRadar for its precise intonation, rich tones, and exceptional build quality. 

• Body Shape: Grand Auditorium with a Venetian cutaway, providing easy access to the upper frets and a highly versatile sonic footprint suited for both strumming and fingerstyle playing. 
• Bracing: Equipped with Taylor's cantilevered C-Class bracing architecture, which optimizes volume, sustain, and low-end presence. 
• Neck & Playability: Features a slender, comfortable neo-tropical mahogany neck and a genuine West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard, offering a relaxed fretting feel. 
• Electronics: Ships with the proprietary Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) behind-the-saddle pickup, allowing for a transparent, dynamic amplified tone when plugged into an amplifier or PA system. 

Common Wood & Finish VariationsThe 214ce DLX is offered in several distinct tonewood configurations, changing the visual aesthetic and subtly altering the sound profile: 

• Taylor 214ce DLX (Standard/Natural): Uses layered Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a solid Sitka spruce top, producing a traditional, balanced tone with plenty of high-end sparkle.
