The 210ce acoustic-electric guitar from Taylor pairs formidable dreadnought power with superb Taylor comfort and voicing. Select cuts of spruce and layered walnut give the 210ce remarkable presence and a familiar sound that’s thicker and more vintage-inspired than the average Taylor acoustic. A solid spruce top conjures up heaps of volume; meanwhile, walnut back and sides provide hearty foundations that adapt well to soft or aggressive techniques. Factor in ES2 electronics and a Venetian cutaway, and you’re set for luxurious playability onstage or off! Furthermore, the 210ce features C-Class bracing beneath the hood, translating Taylor’s signature sound to a large and loud dreadnought by reigning in booming bass. All in all, the 210ce dreadnought from Sweetwater is an incredible all-purpose acoustic-electric primed for the bright lights.

Vivid tonewoods with a classic voice





Players look to Taylor’s 200 series for incredible tonewoods at a great price, and the 210ce is no exception! Prime cuts of spruce and walnut fuel this acoustic-electric dreadnought’s classic voice. The 210ce takes what makes Sitka spruce great ? the clarity, power, and dynamism ? and makes them even better through a roasting process (torrefaction) that removes moisture. The result is enhanced musicality, reduced weight, and an extra-bold look. Layered walnut back and sides support spruce with a compelling presence that bridges the richness of mahogany and the clarity of rosewood or maple. Lastly, the 210ce’s smooth mahogany neck and comfortable Taylor neck carve keep fatigue at bay, with exceptional support for traversing the ebony fingerboard.

Dreadnought body style with cutaway





The 210ce employs the most popular acoustic guitar body style of all time, but this isn’t merely a dusty design pulled from 1932. Taylor carefully enhanced the 210ce to play and sound like a Taylor that’s a tad more muscular than slimmer body styles such as the Grand Auditorium. Players who love powerful bass and lasting sustain will love how this dreadnought vibrates and responds. And proprietary C-Class bracing helps deliver the studio-ready sound that Taylors are known for worldwide. From fingerpicking to strumming, the 210ce is a phenomenal choice.





Taylor's Expression System 2





Taylor's Expression System 2 uses a proprietary pickup behind the saddle. The pickup's three individually calibrated, precisely positioned piezo-electric sensors respond organically to the instrument's acoustic energy as it's transferred through the saddle. In concert with Taylor's custom-designed preamp, the result is a natural acoustic sound with incredible dynamic range and responsiveness. Sweetwater's guitar gurus are mightily impressed with Taylor's Expression System 2.
