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 torrefied Sitka spruce top with layered bigleaf maple back and sides. Maple back and sides bring spruce's power into focus with warm, lively clarity, energetic articulation, and lush, well-rounded sustain. The 214ce Plus enhances Sitka spruce's prized sound with a special roasting procedure (torrefaction) that removes moisture and enhances musicality (while reducing weight and enriching color and woodgrain). A hard rock maple neck with an African ebony fingerboard offers incredible playability and response, and GearNuts guitarists welcome the deep Venetian cutaway's improved access to higher notes on the fingerboard. Moreover, the 214ce Plus features signature Taylor ES2 electronics that make recording and playing onstage a smooth and empowering experience like no other.Taylor's Expression System
