Taylor 214ce-K SB Plus - sunburst

2024 model, made in Mexico.
Featuring a solid torrefied Sitka Spruce top, layered Walnut back and sides, neo-tropical Mahogany neck and Ebony fretboard, the TAYLOR 214ce-K SB Plus Grand Auditorium cutaway acoustic/electric guitar produces tone that covers a wide tonal palette from shimmering highs to a robust, meaty midrange.

Sitka Spruce is the common choice for top wood on most acoustic guitars. Offering combination of strength and elasticity which translates into a broad dynamic range, Sitka Spruce has a punchy direct sound, yielding crisp articulation and allowing for versatile playing, from dynamic strumming, flatpicking or fingerpicking.

Koa is a dense tropical hardwood endemic to the Hawaii island. It blends the midrange of Mahogany with the brightness of Maple. The more a Koa guitar is played, the more it opens up, with midrange overtones adding warmth and sweetness to its voice.

The torrefaction process improves overall tone of the wood (clearer and richer), increases sustain, and optimize stability and intonation.
