With the 214ce Koa left-handed acoustic-electric guitar, you'll enjoy Taylor's comfortable neck profile for chording and melodic lines. Plug in with the ES2 pickup system to faithfully reproduce your acoustic tone through an amp or PA. This Taylor comes with a durable gig bag for protection during transport.
Layered Koa Back and Sides Offer Versatile Acoustic Tone
The layered koa back and sides of the 214ce Koa left-handed guitar yield a woody, focused tone with bold midrange, crisp treble notes and a pronounced low-end that becomes warmer the more you play. With this versatile tonal profile, the 214ce Koa performs equally well for fingerstyle, flatpicking and strumming. Whether blending with vocals in a studio mix or competing in a live band setting, the 214ce Koa's koa body projects a balanced tone.
Easy Upper Fret Access With a Cutaway
This left-handed 214ce Koa was designed with a cutaway for comfortable access to the upper frets beyond the 10th fret. Reach those high notes with ease during solos and melodic lines thanks to the Venetian-style cutaway. The cutaway allows your picking hand clear access to the top strings.
Torrefied Spruce Top Adds Sonic Depth and Responsiveness
Taylor torrefies the solid Sitka spruce top of the 214ce Koa to increase its dynamic range, balance and projection. You'll enjoy longer sustain between each note along with improved pitch accuracy. The torrefied spruce top generates a guitar tone with serious punch and volume. Notes have more complexity and richness.
Genuine Ebony Fingerboard and Bridge
The 214ce Koa left-handed model features a genuine ebony fingerboard and bridge. Ebony provides an exceptionally smooth feel under your fingers. Ebony also enhances the tone with its dense hardness and crisp attack. The ebony and Taylor's neck profile enable effortless chording, bends and quick runs up the fingerboard.
