Taylor 214ce-N Nylon / classical solid top electro acoustic guitar +case
Chris Farley (MD Guitar Mania Ltd) says:
“A very nicely presented not too ostentatious option for those wanting a classical tone without the extra wide fingerboard of a traditional classical guitar. We all love Taylor guitars here. We all own at least one each here. They are just head and shoulders above the competition. It really IS all about the quality, I know we bang on about it but these guitars are just superb and this 214ce-N will be a great addition to your collection. We don’t believe anyone deserves a Taylor more than anyone else, it’s nothing to do with how good you can play, it’s just down to whether you want to spoil yourself.”
Playability:
Here at Guitar Mania we take great pride in our Taylor guitars. Every one gets check and set up as required so they have a great action as well as sounding great. They are all stored in a humidity controlled room so that they stay that way too. Jon, our in-house Taylor Guru is in charge of the set ups and general well being of these lovely guitars. He is a Master Level factory trained technician so rest assured you’re in good hands. We have a thriving Taylor Service Centre that he takes care of and our after sales service is second to none.
If you have tried to save money and bought from somewhere online and found your action is high, it’s most likely because it’s been stored in a damp draughty warehouse or cellar and especially applicable to this country, been exposed to excess humidity. This causes the body to swell up and becomes apparent by a high string height (action). You won’t get that here.
All Taylor guitars are stored in a humidity controlled environment.
They are all set up and checked over when they arrive and again before dispatch.
Buy in confidence !
More info from Taylor
The 214ce-N represents a unique blend of contemporary design and classical-esque tone, offering players a new musical tool with a distinctive sound. This Grand Auditorium model features a solid Sitka spruce top and layered rosewood back and sides, generating a punchy, snappy nylon-string tone that’s perfect for classical arrangements, flamenco, and other fingerstyle genres. The 1-7/8″ neck width provides a touch of extra string spacing while maintaining a relaxed fretting feel, and the ES-N pickup makes it easy to plug in and play with organic-sounding live tone. The 214ce-N ships with a sturdy padded gig bag.
