Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for a player moving between unplugged parts and amplified sets, the black 214ce-BLK Plus pairs a Grand Auditorium cutaway body with Taylor’s ES2 electronics. The torrefied spruce top and layered maple back and sides are described as balanced, responsive and clear across fingerpicking, strumming and flatpicking. Three behind-the-saddle sensors and onboard volume, bass and treble controls let you shape the amplified signal for a PA or amp. A gig bag is included for transport.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Switching between fingerpicking, strumming and flatpicking on one Grand Auditorium guitar.
- Amplified rehearsals or stage sets where onboard volume, bass and treble adjustment is useful.
- Players who want cutaway access to the guitar’s higher frets.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this is a right-handed model.
