Taylor 214ce DLX LTD Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Trans Grey

The All-purpose 214ce with Deluxe Limited-edition Looks!

Maple and spruce: powerful, bright, and infinitely warm

Beneath the 214ce DLX LTD’s luxury finish sits a collection of specialty tonewoods ready to power modern tone and comfortable playability for years to come. Layered bigleaf maple back and sides guarantee a bright and responsive sound across chords and picking with wonderful dynamic transparency that’s perfect for players who leap from style to style (or from loud to soft) regularly. Furthermore, Taylor voices their maple for extra bottom-end resonance along with more sustain and warmth across the board; the result is a more versatile sound than the average maple-bodied instrument. The instrument’s premium top is made from rare Lutz spruce, a hybrid species that energizes maple’s tone volume and power. But of course, the best tonewoods in the world mean nothing unless they’re playable! That’s why the 214ce LTD DLX features an incredibly comfortable maple neck with Taylor’s signature ergonomic neck carve, a smooth ebony fingerboard, and a satin finish.

Balanced Grand Auditorium design

The Grand Auditorium player-friendly design is built for professionals who want to quickly hop from style to style without switching guitars! One of Taylor’s iconic guitar shapes, the Grand Auditorium’s comfortable low profile is sonically outsized by its strong voice and projection. Since it's balanced across lows, mids, and highs, players who favor transparent-sounding guitars will love the 214ce LTD DLX’s warm and crisp fingerpicking response that darkens up when flatpicking or strumming with force. Moreover, the 214ce LTD DLX also features Taylor’s signature Venetian cutaway for better access to upper frets.

Expression System 2 electronics

With built-in ES2 electronics, the 214ce LTD DLX is ready for the stage! The ES2 system features a revolutionary segmented pickup located behind the bridge saddle; this pickup position delivers remarkably accurate and clear sound production that’s authentic to your playing. Each ES2 system features a handy master volume knob for fast level adjustments, in addition to a 2-band EQ for independent treble/bass adjustments to get the sound you need. Plus, the ES2 system also has a built-in phase switch, which offers essential feedback suppression whenever the system is active.
