Taylor 214ce Plus Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural

The Taylor 214ce Plus is an acoustic-electric guitar that combines stunning aesthetics with powerful, stage-ready sound. It's the perfect instrument for any acoustic player looking to make a statement, whether they're recording in the studio or performing live. This guitar's incredible projection and rich, resonant tone come from its genuine Sitka spruce top and layered Indian rosewood back and sides. The Grand Auditorium body shape provides a comfortable feel while sitting or standing, and the Venetian cutaway offers easy access to the higher frets. With the ES2 pickup system, you can capture the guitar's natural acoustic beauty with incredible clarity and dynamic range. The Taylor 214ce Plus is a gorgeous, sonically versatile instrument that is perfect for any player.

Sitka spruce, often called the "King of Tonewoods" because of its universal versatility, is the ideal soundboard for a wide range of playing styles and musical genres. It is known for its incredible projection and clarity, which makes it perfect for both delicate fingerpicking and aggressive strumming. The layered Indian rosewood back and sides add a warm, rich complexity to the sound, with a slightly scooped midrange and brilliant highs. This combination of woods produces a balanced, articulate tone with a beautiful blend of overtones and note separation. A similar combination of tonewoods was famously played by musical legends like Neil Young, who used a D-45 with a Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, and Johnny Cash, who played a D-35 with a similar wood combination.
