The appealing tones and subtle nuances of solid sapele and Sitka spruce are amplified with clarity and warmth, thanks to the ES Blue pickup.

In the 214, solid sapele adds depth to the sparkle of a Sitka top, filling in a full range of tonal possibilities.

The 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.

Derived from the Taylor Expression System, the ES Blue utilizes a proprietary Dynamic String Sensor and a Taylor-devised active preamp. The result is a high-fidelity, low-impedance signal for clear, acoustic amplified tone.
