Taylor 214ce-N Grand Auditorium Sitka/Rosewood Natural ES-N
Crafted with solid tops for optimal projection, clarity, and tonal balance, Taylor’s 214ce-N Grand Auditorium sitka/rosewood ES-N models offer the balanced highs and supportive lows of the brand’s flagship, medium-sized body shape, generating a punchy, bold voice with clear projection and power, with added balance between fret-hand comfort and adequate string spacing. Plus, Taylor’s ES-N electronics feature a preamp and tone controls customized to complement the nylon-string voice. Plus, Taylor’s ES2 electronics provide ample tonal control and responsiveness.

200 Series—Sitka/Rosewood
Taylor’s 200 series is crafted with solid tops for optimal projection, clarity, and tonal balance—so, whether you’re a new player on the hunt for inspiration from a new instrument, or an experienced guitarist looking for an accessible pro-level tool, a Taylor 200 series will cover just about any application. The solid Sitka spruce top on each of these 200 series guitars generates a punchy, bold voice with clear projection and power—with a dash of warmth and sparkle from the layered rosewood back and sides, adding a beloved acoustic guitar aesthetic in a durable, affordable package.

Grand Auditorium Nylon-String
The brand’s flagship body shape, the Taylor Grand Auditorium’s medium size offers balanced highs and supportive lows, making it a versatile choice that’s fit for nearly any playing style. Boasting bold, balanced tone, the Taylor Grand Auditorium provides vibrant, well-defined sound across the entire tonal spectrum, thanks to a more tapered waist than a traditional dreadnought, making the Taylor Grand Auditorium the Swiss Army Knife of Taylor’s body shapes.

A unique addition to any musical arsenal, Taylor nylon-string models feature a 1 7/8-inch neck width, giving players who are used to playing steel-string acoustics an ideal balance between fret-hand comfort and adequate string spacing for fingerstyle players.

Q: Does a cutaway diminish a guitar’s tonal output?
A:
Not in a discernible way. We recommend you decide based on whether you want that extra upper-fretboard range; or, if you simply have an aesthetic preference—either for a more traditional, symmetrical look of a non-cutaway, or in favor of the sleek, more modern contouring that the cutaway offers.

V-Class Bracing
The Taylor Grand Auditorium features Taylor’s innovative new V-Class bracing, which lets the soundboard of the guitar vibrate naturally, increasing sustain and overall cohesiveness, and generating additional volume without sacrificing sustain. This design puts the body more in tune with the strings, improving articulation and harmonic alignment, resulting in a sound that is optimally warm and seasoned, nicely blended, and full of luscious low end without being muddy.

ES2 Electronics
The Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) delivers the latest technology in Taylor acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the ES2 system is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, featuring three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The new positioning enables the piezo pickup’s crystals to respond more naturally to the guitar’s energy as it is transferred through the saddle, with three pickup sensors installed behind the saddle, through the bridge, with three tiny Allen screws that calibrate the position of the sensors in relation to the saddle. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed preamp, this ES2 system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness.
