Taylor 214 Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar Review

Comfort, looks, and that big, airy Taylor midrange.

The Taylor 214 Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar gives you bright sound with plenty of low. The brilliant warm tone of a solid Sitka spruce top is given definition by laminated Indian rosewood back and sides. Narrow Grand Auditorium waist looks cool and rides easy on your knee while providing lots of wood for great volume. The ebony fretboard, bridge, and Indian rosewood headstock veneer plus a detailed rosette furnish phenomenal looks.

Bottom Line:

The Taylor 214 is definitely a very nice acoustic guitar.  Taylor is known for high quality acoustic guitars, and this model costs less than many of their other options.  It has a Grand Auditorium style body, making it perfect for fingerpicking, but it is also loud and resonant for strumming chords too.  The neck plays well, the guitar stays in tune well, the body is comfortable, and the guitar sounds great.  The only qualm with this guitar is that the newest version of this model has a laminated rosewood back and sides (solid wood is preferable to laminated), but that doesn’t affect the guitar too much.  This is still a very nice looking guitar that sounds great too.
