A Lefty Taylor That’s Built for the Stage

The Taylor 214ce Left-handed acoustic-electric guitar makes it easy to get great Taylor tone both onstage and off. The 214ce Left-handed combines a solid Sitka spruce top and koa back and sides material for excellent acoustic projection, while the single cutaway design and Grand Auditorium body style make it easy to play — even to the highest frets! This guitar includes Taylor’s ES2 amplification system, which combines innovative pickup/sensor designs with a powerful preamp for very natural (and controllable) plugged-in tone from the 214ce Left-handed.

Grand Auditorium body style with cutaway

Taylor’s Grand Auditorium combines the width and depth of a dreadnought with a narrower waist. Its sleek design yields a strong treble zing across the tonal spectrum and sharpens the definition of individual notes. The Grand Auditorium is a strong fingerpicking guitar that also adapts well to medium strumming.

Quality Taylor construction

Value is just one of the reasons why we at Sweetwater love the Taylor 200 series. The 214ce is a modestly priced guitar with tonal qualities and resonance approaching that of a premium acoustic. Layered koa adds depth to the sparkle of a Sitka top, filling in a full range of tonal possibilities.

Sounds great plugged in

With the ES2 amplification system, this affordably priced acoustic can now be plugged in to further enhance the Taylor playing experience. The ES2 utilizes a proprietary behind-the-saddle pickup and a Taylor-devised active preamp. The result is a high-fidelity, low-impedance signal for clear, acoustic amplified tone.

Taylor 214ce Left-handed Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:

  • 6-string Grand Auditorium Cutaway — left-handed
  • Layered koa back and sides
  • Clear-sounding solid Sitka spruce top
  • Smooth ebony fretboard
  • Natural-sounding Taylor ES2 electronics
  • Comfortable dimensions

Great customer service

Sweetwater's customer service is great! My sales engineer was very helpful and even sent me the professional photos of my guitar. It shipped out within 24 hours. The 55 point inspection assured I wouldn't get a flawed instrument. Will definitely be a regular customer.
Rated 5/5

So smooth

Plays like a gem, and such a smooth sound and feel. This is my first upgrade from a 'entry level' guitar, and what a difference it makes. Even my kids notice the better sound! And Charlie Kim is great to work with as well!

A Left-Handed Guitarist's Dream.

The Left-Handed Taylor 214ce is a remarkable acoustic guitar that embodies quality, craftsmanship, and sheer musicality. As a left-handed guitarist, finding a premium instrument can be a challenge, but the 214ce is a game-changer.

The comfortable neck profile and ebony fretboard make it a joy to play, whether strumming chords or fingerpicking intricate melodies. The Taylor Expression System 2 electronics ensure that this guitar sounds as magnificent plugged in as it does acoustically, making it a reliable choice for both live performances and studio recordings.

The attention to detail in its construction, from the impeccable fretwork to the smooth finish, is evident. It's a guitar that not only sounds great but also feels great in your hands. The 214ce's classic Grand Auditorium body shape offers excellent projection and a comfortable playing experience.

This guitar isn't just about sound and playability; it's also about aesthetics. The koa back and sides paired with a stunning solid Sitka spruce top give it a timeless and elegant appearance. It's a guitar that you'll be proud to showcase on stage or in your home.

The Taylor 214ce is a guitar that exceeds expectations. It's a testament to Taylor's commitment to quality and innovation, offering left-handed players an instrument that inspires creativity and musical excellence. Whether you're a seasoned musician or a budding guitarist, the 214ce is a fantastic choice that will elevate your musical journey.
Rated 5/5

Love this guitar!

They say the thing that tells you if you have the right guitar is when you can't wait to get your hands on it again. I have had my Taylor now for 7 months and can't wait until I can play it again. With Elixir strings, the 214CE is one sweet sounding acoustic. I've had other acoustics in the past but could never find the right tone nor did I enjoy playing them that much. Besides sounding great, the neck plays flawlessly and was expertly setup by Sweetwater. The value for the money is really high but what really matters is the joy I get from playing it.
Rated 5/5
