As an acoustic-electric dreadnought, this guitar is perfect for both budding musicians and seasoned players looking for a reliable companion on stage.

Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Taylor 210.

Setup and maintenance

  • It's recommended to use Oasis humidifiers in winter and D'Addario Humidipaks the rest of the year to maintain optimal humidity levels for the solid top.

    Source
  • Humidipaks can be refreshed by placing them in a sealed container with water, allowing users to extend their lifespan and reduce costs.

Features and functionality

  • The ES2 electronic system in the Taylor 210 can drain 9v batteries faster than expected, making it wise to keep a spare battery in the case.

    Source

Comparisons

  • The 210ce Plus offers a slightly bassier dreadnought sound, while the 214ce Plus provides the bright, sparkly tone typical of Taylor's Grand Auditorium shape.

    Source
  • For similar money, Takamine models offer superior electronic packages compared to Taylor's, potentially providing better sound and value for those focused on electronics.

    Source

User experience

  • Owners who prefer traditional acoustic voicing may find Taylor's tone too thin or trebly, suggesting trying other brands like Gibson, Godin, or Guild for richer sounds.

Great Guitar

I have owned my 210e since 2007 and it has been a workhorse for me. I love the tone of this guitar mic'd up in the studio, it cuts through a mix perfectly without ever being too shrill. It is stock and beyond oiling the neck, I haven't done anything to it because I haven't needed to.

At around $800, I would highly recommend this guitar.
