The Taylor 210ce Plus represents all that has made Taylor a trusted and sought-after instrument: impeccable design, fine appointments, and a fresh take on a familiar body style. Select cuts of spruce and layered rosewood give the 210ce Plus a 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, rosewood back and sides provide rich fundamental clarity that lets technique shine through. Factor in ES2 electronics and a Venetian cutaway, and you’re set for luxurious playability onstage or off! Furthermore, the 210ce Plus 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 Plus 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 Plus is no exception! Prime cuts of spruce and rosewood fuel this acoustic-electric dreadnought’s classic voice. The 210ce Plus 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 rosewood back and sides support spruce with focused bell-like clarity and sustain, making this Taylor a favorite for robust flatpicking or fingerstylists. Lastly, the 210ce Plus’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 Plus 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 Plus 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. Moreover, this special edition boasts elegant body binding and other premium touches to captivate the eye.





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.
