Taylor 214ce Sunset Blvd Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Solar Flare

The Taylor 214ce Sunset Blvd brings a distinctive Solar Flare design to the versatile Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar. This Guitar Center Exclusive model pairs a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top with layered walnut back and sides for a warm, balanced acoustic voice, while C-Class bracing supports low-end response and sustain. A Venetian cutaway and neo-tropical mahogany neck provide comfortable playability across the 25.5" scale length, while Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics deliver responsive amplified sound for live performance and recording. Exclusive appointments include Anniversary fingerboard inlays, gold tuning machines and a commemorative Sunset Blvd back label. A Taylor tan structured gig bag with burgundy plush lining completes this distinctive acoustic-electric guitar, offering a versatile instrument for songwriting, practice and performance.

Torrefied Spruce Warmth and Responsive C-Class Bracing

Taylor's Grand Auditorium body shape offers a balanced acoustic response suited to fingerpicking, flatpicking and strumming. The solid torrefied Sitka spruce top delivers a warm, played-in character with responsive dynamics, while layered walnut back and sides contribute focused mids and articulate highs. Taylor's C-Class bracing uses an asymmetrical, cantilevered design to reinforce low-end presence and sustain while maintaining clarity across the frequency range. Together, these elements give the 214ce a versatile acoustic voice that responds to subtle fingerstyle passages and more assertive rhythm playing.

Comfortable Neck and Upper-Fret Access With Venetian Cutaway

A neo-tropical mahogany neck with Taylor's standard profile pairs with a genuine West African ebony fingerboard for a smooth, familiar playing feel. The 25.5" scale length provides traditional acoustic string tension and response, while the 1.688" nut width accommodates both chord work and melodic playing. A Venetian cutaway provides access to the upper frets, making it easier to explore lead lines and higher-register voicings across the 20-fret fingerboard. A genuine West African ebony bridge and matte neck finish complete the guitar's comfortable, functional design.

Exclusive Solar Flare Finish and Anniversary-Inspired Appointments

The custom Solar Flare top gives this Guitar Center Exclusive model a distinctive appearance, complemented by Taylor's thin 2.0 mil matte finish. Italian acrylic faux pearl Anniversary fingerboard inlays add decorative detail, while a commemorative Sunset Blvd back label identifies the special edition. Taylor gold tuning machines with matching gold buttons complete the coordinated appointments. These exclusive details distinguish the Sunset Blvd 214ce from standard models while preserving the familiar Grand Auditorium proportions and practical design that make the series versatile for everyday playing.

Expression System 2 Electronics for Stage and Studio

Taylor's Expression System 2 (ES2) uses three adjustable behind-the-saddle pickup sensors to capture the guitar's acoustic response for amplified performance. The system pairs these sensors with a professional audio-grade preamp, delivering a clear, dynamic signal through an acoustic amplifier, PA system or recording interface. Onboard volume, bass and treble controls provide straightforward tone shaping, while a phase switch helps manage feedback in live settings. Whether performing solo, playing with a band or recording directly into an audio interface, the ES2 system offers flexible amplified sound without requiring an external microphone.

Versatile Grand Auditorium Design With a Structured Gig Bag

The Sunset Blvd 214ce combines Taylor's versatile Grand Auditorium body with the warmth of a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top, responsive C-Class bracing and performance-ready ES2 electronics. Its layered walnut construction, genuine ebony appointments and custom Solar Flare finish offer a distinctive take on a familiar acoustic-electric design. A Taylor tan structured gig bag with burgundy plush lining provides protection during storage and transport. For musicians seeking a comfortable instrument for songwriting, recording and live performance, the Taylor 214ce Sunset Blvd Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar brings together versatile tone, expressive playability and Guitar Center Exclusive visual appointments.
