Stage-ready features, chiseled sonics, and unsurpassed playability are ripe for the taking when you pick up a Taylor 214ce Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar. The 214ce’s Grand Auditorium body shape can rival a larger guitar’s power and projection, while its tapered waist and body cutaway supply superior comfort along with a useful sonic focus that recording engineers love. The 214ce’s fast and slender mahogany neck plays effortlessly. And Rosewood solid wood sides churn out delectable tone that’s practically fit for any style of play. Longtime Taylor fans may also notice this 214ce’s top — it’s still made from solid Sitka spruce, which now receives a torrefied roasting treatment for enhanced sonics.
With a high-quality preamp, dual effects section, tone controls, a compressor, level booster and a balanced DI - the ToneDEQ has everything you need in one box. Its analog signal path goes from end to end - from preamp to output - to give acoustic musicians a richer tonal quality. Even the digital effects are mixed in parallel so they don't affect the purity of an acoustic instrument.
