Manufacturer's Description for Taylor 214E Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar (with Gig Bag)

The appealing tones and subtle nuances of a solid Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood laminate backs and sides are amplified with clarity and warmth, thanks to Taylor's Under-Saddle Transducer (UST) pickup.

A modestly priced, solid-wood guitar with tonal qualities and resonance approaching that of a premium acoustic guitar -- an incredible value.

Features
In the 200 Series, solid sapele adds depth to the sparkle of a Sitka top, filling in a full range of tonal possibilities.

Grand Auditorium -- 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.

Varnish -- A durable varnish finish offers protection, good looks, and a smooth feel to the touch. Available in natural finish. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Taylor products.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Worried about buying without holding it first?"
Sound: I love this guitar. I was afraid to buy something without getting to play it. But, I quickly found out that I made the right choice. It gives the great Taylor sound without the huge price tag. My skills are mediocre at best and this guitar makes me sound like a better player. Feature: The case that came with it is good. I hope to later purchase a hard shell type case but this one works fine for now. The only thing that I wish it had is a built in tuner. Ease of Use: This guitar is as smooth as butter. The sound is perfect. Quality: It is made very well. Value: This guitar is well worth the money. The Wow Factor: I love the classic look. Overall: I plan on taking care of it and using it for the rest of my life.
