Taylor 214ce Plus LH - natural

The TAYLOR 214ce Plus Left-Handed electro-acoustic steel-string acoustic guitar is designed to offer both style and performance, making it ideal for left-handed guitarists looking for a high-quality instrument.

Overview

This model from the 200 Series, manufactured in Mexico, features a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top, a laminated Indian rosewood back and sides, a Neotropical mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard. It also features the Expression System ES2 preamp for optimal sound reproduction.

A Grand Auditorium body shape for optimal playing comfort

This guitar’s Grand Auditorium body style, designed by Taylor since 1994, combines the best features of the Grand Concert and the Dreadnought. It offers comfortable ergonomics, with a more compact size that makes playing easier while reducing the risk of feedback when amplified.

Sitka Spruce for a Rich, Dynamic Sound

Sitka spruce is known for its excellent balance of strength and flexibility. This traditional choice produces a lively and balanced tone, ideal for a variety of playing styles:

• Strumming
• Flatpicking
• Fingerpicking

Indian Rosewood: A Deep, Textured Tone

Used in many guitars, Indian rosewood adds richness to the sound, offering prominent midrange while broadening the frequency range toward the lows and highs. This wood thus lends beautiful depth to the instrument’s overall sound.

Toasting: A Process for Better Resonance

The torrefaction of Sitka spruce is not merely for aesthetic purposes; it also provides the instrument with improved tuning stability, as well as enhanced sustain and clarity, making each note more resonant and harmonious.

Expression System 2: Redesigned amplification for greater warmth

Taylor has spent many years developing the Expression System (ES) to ensure faithful amplification of its acoustic guitars. The ES2 system, with its new pickups and revised circuitry, offers enhanced responsiveness and dynamics, with approximately 25% more warmth compared to the previous version.
