i agree with you. I have one 3 months ago and i needed the money so, i sold it and 2 weeks later i bought another one. Really an awesome guitar and i used it a lot to my gigs. Thanks for sharing your video.
Nice review! - the sincerity in your voice in this presentation makes this review easy to listen to, and the way you explain how the 214 works for you and your different techniques really drives home what you're saying
I was torn between Taylor and Martin but eventually got a Martin GPC 13e (which is a really nice Guitar). It's definitely worth getting a decent Acoustic, my Martin sounds and plays so much better than my old budget Fender acoustic (which I thought sounded fine until I compared it to a higher end guitar). Great review! Very informative.
I love that the pattern in the top wood in each guitar is slightly different. I own this guitar which I bought in 2020. Check out the ebony fretboard next time you change your strings and you'll notice that you're putting a LOT of wear into it. That's not a bad thing. I think it says a lot of you as a player. It should also be noted that the top is solid wood while the back and sides are laminated. I love my guitar but if it was stolen, I may go for a 314 since it's totally solid and American-made whereas the 214 is made in Mexico. Also note that the sound in these guitars will improve with age and the more you play it.
Great demo Kim , I am looking to buy one of these soon to learn to play on , any recommendations on a good beginners starting to learn video on UA-cam , cheers Den .
@@KimLachanceMusic Hi Kim , thank you for your reply , I know a few chords and the Blues Scale , I just need some nice easy Blues to get me up and running , thanks Den .
Check out Marty Music. I am self taught and used a lot of his videos to figure stuff out. His channel was called something else when I first started so I'm not sure what changed exactly. He had a good number of "How to Play" videos and he would break it all the way down to strumming pattern on most songs.. Another amazing resource is Ultimate Guitar. I use their app to find chords and tabs almost every time I play. They are generally user submitted so sometimes you'll run across one that is wrong but usually they will at least get you in the ballpark.
Thanks for the review Kim - I’m interested in trying one of these guitars and I’ve read reviews that comment on how low the action is and how easy on the fingers it is to play. So I’m wondering whether you feel the guitar is easy to play further down the neck and whether the action remains consistently low? Would the action be more comparable to that of an electric guitar?
Hey Matt, I can vet that the action ressembles that of an electric guitar. The recommended string gage is smaller too so that plays into it as well. I would say if you are a shredder, of course it will always somewhat feel like an acoustic but very comfortable compared to anything else you may have tried. To give you an idea, I tried a Godin A6 acoustic in a shop recently and I was disappointed at the feel. The 214ce just beats everyone.
@@KimLachanceMusic Hey Kim, thanks for the reply. I really liked your guitar playing as it showed off the guitar tones nicely. It’s also helpful to have an opinion from someone who has owned the guitar for a while! I’m definitely not a shredder but I do like to play barre chords further down the neck. So was looking at trying some guitars that make it easier to hold down chords at the dusty end! Lighter gauge strings will be a bonus too. Thanks once again, Matt.
Did you play happen to play the plus or deluxe versions? If you did what differences did you notice? There aren't any shops that sell Taylor near me do I can't go and see the difference for myself.
Hey NeenRam, that was just a riff I made up. I think it's B7, D7, G (with an added lick on the G string), then a version on an E chords (just rewatch it the video to see the shape) :)
I've only played the 214ce personally, but from what I can see the Plus version has a few added bells ans whistles like the black binding, new tuner pegs and a gloss finish. I don't like gloss finish guitars because I play percussion and like the sound and feel of my fingers directly on the wood. But it's really a matter of personal preference because the difference isn't major between the 2 and the price isn't very different either. But you do get a better gig back with the Plus.
@@jjlanda1171 I had a 214ce and then some years later tried the 214ce plus. The sound difference was massive to my ears. So i sold my 214ce and bought the plus
Not bashing Taylor I’ve just always heard that you pay A LOT for the name so I’m wondering if I can get a Yamaha for cheaper and get the same sound? Would you be able to help please?
@@TitoPopoy I haven't played the 110, but honestly if you like it than stick to that. It just depends what you want, I'm finding that I generally just enjoy Taylor as a company, and I may get other guitars from them but not because I feel like I need an upgrade but just because I like Taylor and want more of their guitars

Everybody and their Mother has a Taylor.. That doesn't make it bad, it just proves how great the guitar is..
Thanks for the review Kim. Nice short and to the point. I totally agree in that the sound is remarkable for the price.
I bought mine aabout 2 years ago as well. A very nice guitar.

Yeah I would have done the same :) Thanks for your comment Henry
@@KimLachanceMusic you're very welcome and keep playing and enjoy that guitar.
Great review, thanks! I bought one recently and very impressed. I felt the tone is brighter and fuller than some all solid guitars it tried!
Nice review! - the sincerity in your voice in this presentation makes this review easy to listen to, and the way you explain how the 214 works for you and your different techniques really drives home what you're saying
Happy you think so Mike, it's easy to be sincere when talking about this guitar :)
Great clear vid about ur 214ce Thanks!

Super worth getting a decent acoustic, makes all the difference in the world. Happy you enjoyed the review Fractures 😁
We love Kim and her sweet guitar!
Haha, thanks Rob!
What a great review Kim Thank You!
I bought mine 2 years ago too love it
Thanks for the info on the 214ce, I’ve ordered one thanks to your video 👍
I'm happy to hear that Matt! I know you're gonna love it
Got the 214ce Plus and I love it.
Those are amazing guitars i had one with Koa it was incredible i really miss that guitar
This is a beautiful and soft guitar. Nice review
That percussion riff was sweet!
Thank you for the review! Very helpful, clear and with some demos
Glad you enjoyed it!

Huh! Thanks for the info mate :)
Have it and love it. Some guitars feels like you almost have to wrestle the sound out of them, this one just plays itself… almost. Great guitar!
Exactly! This one just plays itself and that is so damn rare to find in a guitar
Great review 👌
I love these videos. they're a hidden gem fr.
Thanks Micheal :)
Great job 🤙🏾thank you
Have one on order since yesterday, because of your video .
Ah man I'm happy to hear that Michael!
Great demo Kim , I am looking to buy one of these soon to learn to play on , any recommendations on a good beginners starting to learn video on UA-cam , cheers Den .
Hi Dennis, you've never played before and are looking for a good starting point on what to play on guitar? Is that correct?

Great review!
Happy you liked it Tim
I love your passion about it!
:D
I bought a Taylor 210ce in about 2010 before they began making the 210 and 214 in Mexico What is the difference between the 210ce and 214ce
Nice review! would you recommend it for fingerstyle guitar mainly?
No I recommended it for an all around guitar, I play fingerstyle with mine as well as picking and strumming

@@mattmod7603 you will be happy with this one then :) good luck on the continued Search

I've just played the base version
What is the song starting at 1:32? Its awesome and I want tl learn it
Hey NeenRam, that was just a riff I made up. I think it's B7, D7, G (with an added lick on the G string), then a version on an E chords (just rewatch it the video to see the shape) :)
Thinking to buy this guitar but I’m between the one you have ce214 or ce214 plus, which one do you recommend me besides the price….thanks

Can I ask your height? This is so I can figure out if this model will fit me at 5’5
Thanks, Rob
Same as you i'm 5'5
Is that laminated?
Nope mat finish
@@KimLachanceMusic oooh! Got it. Would you suggest upgrading the 110ce to that?
