Description
The 200 Series is an ideal entry point for musicians who crave a reliable, rich-voiced, stage-ready guitar. Our versatile 214ce-K DLX koa/spruce cutaway Grand Auditorium makes a fantastic musical companion for practice, songwriting, recording and performance.
Key Features
- Taylor C-Bracing – The bracing system on this guitar increases volume, sustain and responsiveness.
- Torrefied Body Top – The spruce top has been “Torrefied”, adding an extra layer of richness to your tone.
- Taylor ES-2 System – The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Featuring a suite of aesthetic upgrades, the new 214ce-K DLX elevates the appeal of our already-inspiring standard model. Layered Hawaiian koa back and sides are paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top and given an all-gloss finish. Our special roasting process for the top adds played-in warmth and depth. Our cantilevered variant of V-Class bracing dials up more volume, sustain and low-end power while preserving all-around clarity.
Upgraded visual appointments include Sentinel fretboard inlays and a single-ring rosette made from Italian acrylic, cream body binding with a matching cream heel cap, and gold Taylor tuning machines. Like the standard 214ce-K, the Deluxe build features a faux tortoiseshell pickguard, a matte-finished mahogany neck, and soundboard purfling. The 214ce-K DLX comes with an onboard ES2 pickup and a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
Torrefied Spruce Top
In typical Taylor style, they are yet again pushing boundaries of acoustic guitar design and have developed a signature recipe for a process called “torrefaction” to make spruce sound even richer and more sophisticated, adding a new dimension to this much-loved wood.
Taylor Expression System 2
The Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in Taylor’s ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before.
Together with Taylor’s custom-designed “professional audio”-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier, or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar.
