With a solid Sitka spruce top and layered koa back and sides, this guitar pumps out a rich, tight tone that you'll never tire of hearing. It has an unbound neo-tropical mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard that feel right at home in your hand. The double-bound body houses Taylor's stunning ES-2 electronics that re-create the acoustic's tone without sounding thin like other acoustic pickups. Whether you're plugging in or playing on the beach, you won't be disappointed. Taylor's dedication to quality workmanship is on full display with the 214ce-K Deluxe V2 acoustic-electric guitar. It doesn't just look great, it sounds great too.
The impressive tone of the Taylor 214ce-K starts with layered koa back and sides. This Hawaiian tonewood is known for its beautiful figuring and bright tone that becomes more mellow with age. Koa has a lot of fans at Guitar World, thanks to its sweet, tight tone that sits between rosewood's warmth and maple's brightness. When koa is paired with a Sitka spruce top, the body becomes focused and deeply resonant with a nice high-end shimmer.
Introduced in 1994, the Grand Auditorium is Taylor's most popular body design. Bob Taylor designed the Grand Auditorium to work perfectly with fingerstyle players and flatpickers alike. This guitar's forward-shifted bracing pattern helps to open up the bass response and create more area for the top to resonate freely. When you play this guitar, you'll adore the powerful lows that are topped by sparkling clear highs.
When you're ready to plug in the 214ce-K, you'll be blown away by Taylor's ES-2 pickup. Located behind the saddle, this pickup is more sensitive to the movement of the bridge. Instead of sounding thin and synthetic, like other bridge pickups, the ES-2 system captures the entire sound picture. An acoustic guitar has never sounded more present and full when played through an amplifier. What's more, the Taylor 214ce's depth of sound and presence allow it to track well with other instruments onstage and in the studio.
