Taylor 214ce-N Grand Auditorium Nylon Electro Classical, Rosewood/Spruce Overview
The Taylor 214ce-N represents a unique blend of contemporary design and classical-esque tone, offering players a new musical tool with a distinctive sound. This Grand Auditorium model features a solid Sitka spruce top and layered rosewood back and sides, generating a punchy, snappy nylon-string tone that's perfect for classical arrangements, flamenco, and other fingerstyle genres. The 1-7/8" neck width provides a touch of extra string spacing while maintaining a relaxed fretting feel, and the ES-N pickup makes it easy to plug in and play with organic-sounding live tone. The 214ce-N ships with a sturdy padded gig bag.
