TAYLOR 214ce DLX Ltd Trans Grey Top

214ce DLX Ltd Trans Grey top is an electroacoustic guitar from the limited series of the American brand Taylor. It is a Grand Auditorium, i.e. a totally versatile instrument suitable for playing with a pick and finger technique.

The front of the guitar is made of solid Lutz spruce, the back and sides are made of laminated big-leaf maple. Glued to the maple neck is an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty frets. Position markers made of imitation mother-of-pearl in the shape of small diamonds facilitate orientation on the fingerboard surface. The stability of tuning is guaranteed by the attachment of the strings in black die-cast Taylor mechanisms. Nice workmanship is emphasized by the combination of a glossy Trans Grey top and black back and sides, plus traditional elements in the form of a white body binding complemented by a black and white top pickguard, imitation mother-of-pearl rosette and black pickguard.

This is a completely unique pickup method that takes the possibilities of realistic sound reproduction to unprecedented proportions. Three specially designed independent piezoelectric pickups located behind the fingerboard are used for pickups. Unlike conventional pickups, they do not sense the up and down movement of the board, but the natural back and forth vibration of the grasshopper seat. This makes the sound much more natural, colourful, pleasing and responsive to the dynamics of the playing. The new preamp also makes the signal 25% stronger. Of course, feedback is eliminated and the volume, bass and treble can be adjusted.

The guitar comes in a case.

The American company Taylor is famous for producing acoustic guitars that are very well crafted and offer a superior sound. The instruments in the 200 series are made in a factory in Tecate, Mexico, but that doesn't detract from the quality. Tecate is only a few dozen kilometres away from EL Cajon in California, so production is properly controlled.
