Performance
The Taylor 214 is one of the best guitars I have ever played. It has good action playing hard or soft, with or without a pick. My Dealer must have set it up that way. This guitar goes beyond what I expected.

Sound Quality

The sound of this guitar is truly remarkable, The Grand Auditorium body and the Sapelle woods gives this guitar full, rich, deep tones on the basses and distinct, clear high’s. The resonance of the 214 is just beautiful. No pickup on this guitar. On a scale from 1-10 on sound and performance it is a 20.

Construction
-
The Taylor 214 ( newest addition to the Taylor line ) was first built in 2003 to be out in July, 2003. The full-scale Grand Auditorium body has a solid Sitka spruce top, large pearloid fingerboard dot inlays, and comes standard with a hardshell case. Additional features like black fiber binding, an inlaid white fiber soundhole rosette, tuners are sealed, the neck wood is Mahogany 1 11/16 inch at nut, Satin finish throughout, hard case and truss tool comes with guitar, and no pickups on this guitar. Made in California, U.S.A. The Construction of this guitar is just great, no flaws that I can find. I bought this guitar at Sensceny Music Co. in Wichita, KS. so I would have good dealer support in case if I should have problems but haven’t had any on this model 214.
