Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 214ce-K Plus is a right-handed Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric in Shaded Edge Burst, built around a torrefied Sitka spruce top and layered koa back and sides. The source describes that pairing as balanced and articulate for fingerpicking, strumming and flatpicking. Taylor’s ES2 system places three adjustable sensors behind the saddle and provides onboard volume, bass and treble controls for live or studio amplification. A Venetian cutaway provides upper-fret access, while ebony fingerboard and bridge components and a gig bag complete the package.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fingerpicking, strumming and flatpicking from one Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric platform.
- Live performances or studio recordings using the onboard ES2 pickup controls.
- Parts that use the Venetian cutaway for access to higher frets.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this model is right handed.
