Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor’s right-handed 214ce pairs a Grand Auditorium body with a cutaway for a balanced acoustic platform that also reaches into higher-fret lines. The torrefied spruce top and layered walnut back and sides produce a focused, midrange-defined voice with clear lows and a lively top end. Its ES2 electronics are built to carry the guitar’s dynamics into a PA or acoustic amplifier, with bass and treble adjustment onboard. The 20-fret ebony fingerboard, 25.5-inch scale, and included gig bag suit a guitar moving between performances and recording sessions.
