Details
The 214ce Plus Special Edition, Trans Blue blends alluring visuals, inspiring tone and easy playability. Designed to excel in just about any musical setting, this special-edition model features a solid Engelmann spruce top paired with layered sapele back and sides in a gloss-finish cutaway Grand Auditorium body, producing a balanced, articulate voice that suits an extensive range of musical genres and playing styles. Cantilevered C-Class bracing dials up increased volume and sustain along with improved intonation up and down the fretboard. The soundboard boasts a gorgeous transparent blue finish that emphasizes the wood’s grain pattern. The back, sides and satin-finish neck are finished in black, with Taylor satin black tuners that complement the aesthetic. A slender Taylor neck with a slightly narrower 1-11/16” nut width offers a finger-friendly fretting experience. Standout appointments include white body binding, Small Diamond fretboard inlays and an Italian acrylic rosette. Equipped with onboard ES2 electronics for clean, natural acoustic amplification, this model ships in a lightweight, sturdy AeroCase.
Features
Grand Auditorium Body Shape: Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.
Sapele Back & Sides: One of the best all-around tonewoods there is, sapele will deliver for any playing style.
Englemann Spruce Top: Englemann has a mature tone and yields a slightly richer midrange than Sitka.
Expression System 2 Electronics: 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.
