Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around Taylor’s Grand Auditorium body, the 214ce-K DLX combines a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top with layered Hawaiian koa back and sides. Its acoustic voice is described as balanced, clear, warm, and responsive across fingerpicking and strumming. For amplified work, the Expression System 2 uses a behind-the-saddle transducer with adjustable sensors, with volume, bass, and treble controls on board. A Venetian cutaway provides upper-fret access, while the natural gloss finish and gold tuners complete the presentation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Moving from fingerpicked passages to stronger strummed parts on one Grand Auditorium guitar.
- Stage performances or studio recording that need onboard amplified acoustic sound.
