Taylor 214ce-BLK Plus Acoustic-Electric Guitar Black

Beautifully Designed Acoustic-electric Cutaway from Taylor

The Taylor 214ce Plus represents all that has made Taylor a trusted and sought-after instrument: impeccable design, fine appointments, and signature Taylor tone. This Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric features a solid Sitka spruce top with layered Indian rosewood back and sides for a blending of full low end, crisp high end, and a balanced midrange. A mahogany neck with African ebony fingerboard offers incredible playability and response, and with a deep Venetian cutaway, you can easily access those higher notes up the fingerboard. To translate beautifully natural acoustic tone, the 214ce is equipped with ES2 electronics, a favorite among guitarists.

Taylor’s Expression System 2 delivers incredibly natural sound with full dynamics

Traditionally, acoustic-electric guitars have employed under-saddle piezo transducers, but Taylor has discovered a better way. Their revolutionary 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 (which delivers a 25% hotter signal), the result is a more natural acoustic sound with incredible dynamic range and responsiveness to your pick or finger attack.

Top-notch appointments and Plus series design

The 214ce Plus is outfitted with the kind of top-notch appointments and build details that have made Taylors much beloved by guitarists the world over. Magic happens inside the sound chamber where C-Class bracing provides heightened dynamic sensitivity and mature, balanced tone. A NuBone nut and Micarta saddle give the 214ce an extra “something” in every note and every chord. Lastly, each 214ce Plus body is double-bound and embellished with a striking rosette for premium looks that punch well above this guitar’s tantalizing price.
