With its aesthetic beauty and musical sparkle, it's no wonder players love Hawaiian koa. In the 214ce-K SB, layered koa back and sides pair with a solid Sitka spruce top, generating clear power and sonic definition for a tone profile that adapts easily across genres and playing styles. The slender Taylor Neck makes holding strings easy on your fingers, while the Grand Auditorium body offers a comfortable feel whether you play seated or standing. This stylish model is capped off with a stunning sunburst finish, crisp white binding and a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, and comes with ES2 electronics built-in. It ships with a sturdy, padded gig bag.
Highlights:
- Grand Auditorium: Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.
- Layered Koa: Beautifully figured and durable, layered koa provides attractive visuals and tone at an accessible price.
- Sitka Spruce: The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
- Expression System 2: The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
- Venetian Cutaway: The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
