Description
The Taylor 214ce Deluxe Koa Special Edition Honeyburst is a stunning Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric that blends bold, warm tone with head-turning looks. A torrefied Sitka spruce top and beautifully figured layered Hawaiian koa back and sides deliver a rich, played-in sound, while Taylor’s C-Class bracing and ES2 electronics ensure inspiring performance on stage, in the studio or at home. Finished in an exclusive Honey Sunburst with full gloss body, it is an all-purpose workhorse with a truly premium feel.
With its comfortable Taylor neck, Venetian cutaway and responsive tonal character, this 6-string suits singer-songwriters, fingerstyle players and strummers alike. From delicate dynamics to full, open chords, the 214ce Deluxe Koa responds with clarity, warmth and impressive projection, all wrapped up in a deluxe presentation that looks as good as it sounds.
Rich, Played-In Tone from Torrefied Spruce
The solid Sitka spruce top has been torrefied, a careful roasting process that mimics the natural ageing of wood. This treatment helps the guitar sound more open and responsive straight out of the case, with added warmth, sweetness and a mature, broken-in character that usually takes years to develop.
Layered Hawaiian Koa Beauty and Warmth
Beautifully figured layered Hawaiian koa back and sides give the 214ce Deluxe Koa its striking visual appeal and a distinctive tonal flavour. Koa adds a focused midrange and smooth top end that complements the spruce top, resulting in a balanced voice that works for strumming, flatpicking and fingerstyle.
C-Class Bracing for Power and Sustain
Inside the body, Taylor’s C-Class bracing with relief rout is engineered to enhance volume, sustain and harmonic detail. Notes ring longer and chords sound fuller, with improved balance across the fretboard. This bracing design helps the guitar project confidently while retaining nuance and sensitivity to your touch.
Stage-Ready ES2 Electronics and Deluxe Case
The Expression System 2 pickup and preamp capture the guitar’s natural acoustic character with clarity and dynamic range, making it easy to plug in and perform. The included Brown Taylor Deluxe hard shell case provides secure protection and a premium home for your guitar between gigs, rehearsals and sessions.
