Taylor 214 Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar (with Case)
Solid Sitka spruce top. Indian rosewood back and sides. Indian rosewood fretboard.
"Great guitar for the money"
Feature:
solid wood...no frills...but beautiful in it's simplicity. comes with a hard shell case that fits snug just like it should.
Quality:
Quality made instrument. Like ALL solid wood guitars you need to take some extra care with cleaning, humidity etc. Something to think about if you just want to leave it lying around or if you live in an extreme climate.
Value:
you will be hard pressed to find another guitar with this kind of sound in this price range.
Desirability:
I love this guitar and you will too.
Sound:
The sound is incredible. I have played several other models in this under 1000 category and couldn't find another one even close to the beautiful sound of the instrument. Don't take my word for it go play one for yourself and see what I mean.
Support:
I have personally never had any return etc. with them but my local dealer who sells them as well as other top brands can't say enough good things about them.
Overall:
I went through the pain staking task of trying to find a good sounding, quality built all wood guitar under $1000.00 for months until I picked up this 210 and it was as if it were meant for me. If your looking for the bling factor don't buy it. But if your looking for a great sounding well built solid wood guitar under 1k you can't go wrong with this one. Go play it and see for your self!

"A steal for $1000"
Feature:
The sapele in the sides and back was a good choice for the guitar. It gives it a ringing high tone. Very nice.
Quality:
The make of the product seems fine. It is assembled in the Taylor factory in California, so it can be trusted. I wouldn't recommend the guitar for touring/traveling because of the delicacy of it. The body is not glossed at all, which makes it a bit more "dentable".
Value:
This guitar is comparable to some of the expensive 600 series Taylors. This is great, considering the guitar is only retailed at around $1000.
Desirability:
It feels great to use, and makes you want to play more and more.
Sound:
The guitar has a treble sound, and sounds nice on figerpicking and open chords.
Support:
The first thing Taylor does when you get the guitar is registers you for support in their factory. I have not yet had to deal with them becuase there has been no problems, but knowing I have the support is nice.
Overall:
The guitar is a MUST if you're buying a mid-priced guitar. The only other guitar I would consider is some of the Blueridges, and just go for what you like!

"Value-added Taylor!"
Value:
Good value
Sound:
I bought this 214 used and had LR Baggs Element installed.I paid $750.00CDN for the guitar,$200.00 to have P/U installed.All kindsof gain,sometimes I use a soundhole plug because of possible feedback in some venues.It's a 2004 model so I think the mahogany sides and back are solid as in the 314's at that time.It's a great little guitar plugged in,nice neck(I'm a Tele player) maybe a bit lacking in an acoustic situation,but you can't have everything,right?
