Masterful design and pro-grade electronics yield stellar tone.
The Taylor 214ce Plus Ziricote special-edition acoustic-electric guitar gives you a bold, balanced tone and premium aesthetics. With a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top and layered ziricote back and sides, it produces a punchy and powerful voice perfect for any genre. The Grand Auditorium body shape yields a balanced and articulate sound ideal for both fingerpicking and strumming. Striking good looks are enhanced by the gloss shaded edgeburst finish and white binding.
Torrefied Solid Sitka Spruce Top
The solid Sitka spruce top has been torrefied to increase its rigidity and power. You'll experience fuller lows, stronger projection and added sustain. The spruce provides a bright and focused tone. Its lightweight, open-pore construction freely vibrates for impressive resonance.
Layered Ziricote Back and Sides
The layered ziricote back and sides produce a warm and balanced sound with clear highs. Ziricote is a beautiful, exotic wood known for tonal depth and richness. When paired with the torrefied spruce top, you'll get a punchy voice with power and articulation. The ziricote wood also gives each guitar a one-of-a-kind appearance with an artistic grain pattern.
Plugged-In Performance With ES-2 Electronics
The ES-2 pickup system faithfully amplifies the 214ce Plus Ziricote's acoustic sound for stage and studio. With an easy plug-and-play setup, you can count on authentic results from Taylor's expressive behind-the-saddle pickup design. Onboard bass and treble controls provide simple tone shaping.
Comfort and Playability
A sleek mahogany neck with 20 frets gives you room to explore melodies up and down the fingerboard. The ebony fingerboard feels smooth under your fingers. With a 1.6875" nut width, the neck is comfortable for all playing styles. The white nut and saddle, made from a synthetic bone, enhance sustain and tuning stability. The 214ce Plus Ziricote comes with a deluxe hardshell case to protect your investment.
