Members sirkonks Posted September 13, 2004 Members Posted September 13, 2004 Is the 214 worth the extra money? How much better is it than the 110?
Members WilsonMak Posted September 13, 2004 Members Posted September 13, 2004 A lto more worth it. It is an all solid wood body. they have a 210 out now as well. Get the 200 series or I will kill you!!!
Members kwakatak Posted September 13, 2004 Members Posted September 13, 2004 They have the same neck, I believe, but the 214 is a grand auditorium body that is smaller and shallower than the dreadnaught 110. Grand auditoriums are more comfortable for fingerpicking but don't project as much bass. I'm not sure if the 110 is laminated or not, though.
Members PapaTom Posted September 13, 2004 Members Posted September 13, 2004 The 110 has a solid top and laminated b/s.
Members guitarcapo Posted September 13, 2004 Members Posted September 13, 2004 Personally I think Taylor lately excels more with the grand auditorium sized guitars over the drednaughts

Members Fstpicker Posted September 15, 2004 Members Posted September 15, 2004 Thanks a bunch! Glad they heard my suggestion! Jeff
Members Micropolis Posted September 15, 2004 Members Posted September 15, 2004 I own one. Bought it as a camping guitar and all round beater. Awesome picked and fingered not good strummed. Little Tawngy. Very well made one of the best guitars for the money I have ever owned. Intonation from factory perfect. Strings sitting right on the fretboard no buzz. Feels like a Strat neck very fast. Could easily be used as a lead acoustic. LOL:mad:
Members desaljs Posted September 15, 2004 Members Posted September 15, 2004 If I know my Taylor numbering, anything ending in 0 (210) will be a dreadnaught style. For Taylor, the Grand Auditorium models end in the digit 4 (814). I have a 454 (12 string Grand Auditorium) and an 814 (6-string Grand Auditorium). These are wonderful guitars to play and they seem to be "right sized" for me. I have trouble with dreads as they all seem to be too thick at the waist and do not feel comfortable to me. That is one reason I have gravitated to Taylor.

LOL:mad: You may be able to get rid of some of the "Twangy-ness" by installing a bone saddle and ebony pins. Tusq saddles tend to sound somewhat "brittle" especially in the trebles on some guitars.
