Description

Stage-ready features, chiseled sonics, and unsurpassed playability are ripe for the taking when you pick up a Taylor 214ce Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar from Sweetwater. The Grand Auditorium body shape can rival a larger guitar’s power and projection, while its tapered waist and body cutaway supply superior comfort along with a useful sonic focus that recording engineers love. The 214ce’s fast and slender mahogany neck plays effortlessly. And layered sweet gum back and sides blends Taylor’s signature tone with stunning aesthetics. Longtime Taylor fans may also notice this 214ce’s top — it’s still made from solid Sitka spruce, which now receives a torrefied roasting treatment for enhanced sonics and a snazzy look that summons you to its side!

Mahogany Body and SlimTaper Neck Mean Playability

Sculpted from solid mahogany, the double cutaways and deep body bevels combine with the SlimTaper neck sporing a 22-fret bound rosewood fretboard to provide effortless upper fret access and making the SG a delight to play,

'60s Sound Burstbucker Pickups

To capture the tone of the early SGs, the 61R and 61T humbuckers produce clear, smooth mids and tight low-end growl. Orange Drop capacitors and audio taper pots stay consistent at any volume. Go from vintage warmth to modern crunch without missing a beat.

Stage-Ready Premium Hardware

The Tune-o-matic bridge and aluminum stopbar tailpiece means rock-solid intonation and sustain. The Keystone tuners hold the tuning as you rip through monster bends and lightning-fast changes. You'll appreciate the vintage shine of the nickel-plated hardware under the bright stage lights.

Classic Gloss Nitro Finish

The SG Standard '61 sports a beautiful gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish which is significantly thinner than modern polyurethane finishes. Enjoy the look and feel of a vintage classic.
