The Taylor 200 Series guitars have long been celebrated for delivering essential qualities that players seek in a great instrument. The Taylor 210ce Guitar stands out in this series, offering exquisite playability, a rich and articulate voice, and precise intonation across the fretboard. Furthermore, it incorporates Taylor’s professional-grade pickup system, all at a price point that makes it accessible to a wide range of musicians. Adding to the value and ethical sourcing, Taylor utilizes genuine West African Responsible Trade Ebony for the fretboard and bridge, providing the authentic feel and performance associated with this premium wood. The guitar features a visually appealing layered rosewood back and sides, built around an internal architecture meticulously optimized for enhanced volume and dynamic range. Each 200 Series guitar is shipped with a durable, lightweight Taylor gig bag, complete with double-stitched seams and reinforced stress points for reliable protection.
Body Shape: The Versatile Dreadnought
The dreadnought shape is iconic in the world of acoustic guitars, representing one of the most traditional and beloved silhouettes. Taylor’s rendition of the dreadnought body has been carefully refined over time to harmonize its characteristic robust low-end frequencies with a crisp midrange and brilliant treble notes. This thoughtful design results in a balanced sonic profile that offers both power and clarity. If you are a player who favors flatpicking or enjoys strumming with vigor for rhythm or lead parts, the dreadnought body of the Taylor 210ce guitar will be a highly accommodating and sonically rewarding choice. Its robust sound and balanced articulation make it suitable for a wide array of musical genres and playing styles.
Tonewoods: Sitka Spruce and Layered Rosewood Combination
The choice of tonewood for a guitar’s top is crucial, as it acts as the primary filter and distributor of the strings’ vibrational energy throughout the instrument. This directly and significantly impacts the guitar’s overall sound. Sitka spruce has become the most widely used top wood in modern guitar construction, prized for its exceptional blend of stiffness and elasticity. This combination translates to a broad dynamic range with clear and articulate note definition. The Taylor 210ce guitar features a Sitka spruce top, ensuring responsiveness and clarity. Complementing the top, the layered rosewood back and sides not only contribute to a rich rosewood tonal character but also provide a stable and supportive structure for the vibrating energy emanating from the guitar’s top. Layered wood construction offers enhanced resilience to fluctuations in temperature and humidity, making the Taylor 210ce guitar an excellent option for musicians who travel frequently with their instruments or require added durability in varying environments.
 for Amplified Performance
Taylor’s Expression System 2 (ES2) marks a significant advancement in acoustic guitar amplification, representing the latest innovation in Taylor’s ongoing commitment to superior plugged-in tone. At the core of the Expression System 2 is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup design, which incorporates three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. Unlike traditional under-saddle pickups, the ES2 design allows the saddle to maintain full contact with the bridge. This is crucial as it ensures that the full spectrum of the Taylor 210ce guitar‘s nuanced acoustic tone is faithfully captured and translated when amplified. The strategic placement of these sensors enables a wider dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured when playing through an amplifier or PA system.
Working in harmony with Taylor’s custom-designed “professional audio”-grade preamp, the Expression System 2 delivers exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. Whether you’re performing on stage through a PA, connected to your preferred acoustic amplifier, or recording directly into software, the ES2 system in the Taylor 210ce guitar accurately and authentically conveys the natural voice of the instrument. The Taylor Expression System 2 is powered by a dedicated 9-volt battery compartment and features user-friendly controls for volume, bass, and treble adjustments, giving you comprehensive command over your amplified sound.
In conclusion, the Taylor 210ce guitar provides a compelling combination of Taylor craftsmanship, quality tonewoods, and advanced electronics, making it a versatile and valuable instrument for any guitarist.
