Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 214ce Koa brings together a Grand Auditorium body, torrefied spruce top, and layered koa back and sides. Its acoustic character is described as balanced and versatile, with focused woody tone, robust midrange, articulate treble, and added depth and responsiveness from the top. A cutaway opens the upper frets on the 20-fret neck. For amplified work, Taylor's ES2 system uses three adjustable behind-the-saddle sensors, supported by onboard two-band EQ and a phase switch.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fingerstyle or flatpicked parts where a balanced Grand Auditorium response suits changing arrangements.
- Stage and studio work requiring a cutaway acoustic-electric with Taylor ES2 amplification.
- Players moving between first-position chords and upper-fret melodic lines.
