Well, this has been a long time in the making wanted something new and more compact than the Yamaha Dreadnought that I have currently. I agonised for many months over several models across several brands playing in shops and talking to other people.
My final choice was not available anywhere in Western Australia and there only seemed to be 1 available in a shop over on the East Coast so my normal music shop ordered me one direct from Taylor. 4 weeks later and I get the call it’s arrived. A 3 hour round trip dash to my music shop and here it is, my new Taylor 214 CE-K, Grand Auditorium in Spruce with Koa back and sides and a Satin finish.
First impressions are, it feels beautiful to hold and has a really lovely tone. It’s comfortable both in the body and the fretboard which feels a bit narrower than my Yamaha. The way it looked, smelt and felt exceeded my expectations and I liked the colour of the head which is different to the single dark coloured models of Taylor I had seen previously.
When I first started to learn, a friend loaned me his Martin Dreadnaught. I hated it. Too big and hurt to play. I purchased the same Taylor you have and it’s been perfect for me since. Didn’t have to go to Australia or California; the local music shops had a number of them available.

Never hve seen such a lovely headstock, that wood grain is absolutely stunning.
