This 214ce-K SB Plus is a fantastic all-around performer – a real sweet spot in Taylor’s lineup. The torrefied top gives it a more mature voice than you'd expect at its level, and the ES2 pickup is genuinely impressive for stage use. It's perfect for gigging singer-songwriters or players wanting a versatile, comfortable, and well-built instrument.

Frequently Asked Questions
Torrefaction gives the top a pre-aged, 'broken-in' feel, resulting in a slightly warmer, more resonant tone and quicker response.
The ES2 is remarkably intuitive, with simple controls for volume and tone; it captures a very natural acoustic tone, avoiding the overly processed sound common with some pickups.
The neck profile is Taylor's standard, a comfortable 'C' shape that’s generally accommodating to a wide range of hand sizes and playing styles.
