A feature-packed left-handed acoustic-electric with pro-grade amplified tone.
The Taylor 214ce BLK Plus left-handed acoustic-electric guitar delivers impressive specs and versatility for left-handed players. With the 214ce BLK Plus, Taylor packs their top-of-the-line ES2 electronics and a Torrefied sitka spruce top into a sleek, blacked-out Grand Auditorium body. Plug in and the ES2 pickup faithfully conveys your playing through the onboard pro-grade preamp. Unplugged, the torrefied spruce top creates a dynamic range of acoustic resonance, projecting each note with clarity and balance. The Grand Auditorium body style offers a versatile tone across styles, responding evenly to fingerpicking or strumming. For lefties, the 214ce BLK Plus is thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind.
Immersive Amplified Tone With ES2 Electronics
The ES2 electronics onboard the 214ce BLK Plus give you exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. Taylor's patented behind-the-saddle pickup has three calibrated sensors that capture the nuances of your playing. Combined with the custom-designed preamp, you get clear, balanced tone through any rig or direct into recording software. Adjustable bass, mid and treble knobs let you shape your amplified sound. An onboard tuner keeps you sounding your best. Whether on stage or in studio, the ES2 pickup conveys the authentic voice of your 214ce BLK Plus.
Deep, Balanced Acoustic Resonance From Torrefied Sitka Spruce and Layered Big Leaf Maple
With its torrefied sitka spruce top, the 214ce BLK Plus creates a dynamic range between each note for balanced projection and sustain. The torrefaction process enhances the spruce's resonance and sensitivity. Layered Big Leaf maple back and sides offer a sturdy foundation for the top's vibrant tone. Together, these tonewoods yield impressive volume, clarity and articulation. Strum gently and the 214ce BLK Plus responds with sweet, ringing tones. Dig in more and it projects each note with power and focus. Unplugged or amplified, the 214ce BLK Plus sings with authentic Taylor acoustic character.
Sleek Black Esthetics With Gloss Finish
The Grand Auditorium 214ce BLK Plus rocks glossy black esthetics for a sleek, modern look. With its cutaway and slim neck profile, the Grand Auditorium body offers comfortable access to upper frets while maintaining balanced acoustic projection. The ebony fingerboard adds crisp note definition, while a Micarta nut and saddle provide tuning stability. Die-cast tuning machines keep the 214ce BLK Plus in tune through countless performances. With its elegant appointments, the 214ce BLK Plus makes an impression both visually and sonically.
Comfortable Playability Designed for Left-Handed Players
Taylor optimizes the 214ce BLK Plus for left-handed playing comfort. The hand-oriented asymmetrical neck shape and standard nut width feel natural in the left hand. Low string action makes chords and leads easy across the ebony fingerboard. The cutaway body style provides ample room for soloing in the upper register. And the sleek Grand Auditorium profile wears comfortably against the body. For lefties seeking amplified acoustic tone and versatile playability, the Taylor 214ce BLK Plus is an excellent choice.
