Taylor 214ce Plus 50th Anniversary LTD

The limited edition 50th Anniversary commemorates fifty years of the American brand Taylor Guitars. It includes a Grand Auditorium 214ce Plus 50th Anniversary LTD electroacoustic guitar from the 200 Series.

The front of the guitar is made of solid spruce, the back and sides of laminated rosewood. The heat treatment of the spruce top (torefaction process) gives the wood greater stability and a pleasantly golden appearance. The acoustic qualities of the guitar are elevated to a higher level by the new asymmetrical C-Class ribbing.

The mahogany neck is glued to an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty frets. A subtle rounded lower body cutaway (Venetian Cutaway) facilitates the touch at the higher positions of the fingerboard. The stability of tuning is guaranteed by the fit of the strings in the ebony fingerboard and the company's gold-finished mechanisms. The stylish look of the instrument is accentuated by the high gloss lacquer body finish and traditional elements in the form of the pickguard and black body surround.

The guitar is fitted with high-quality company electronics. The Taylor Expression System 2 uses three specially designed and individually calibrated piezo pickups located behind the fingerboard. Unlike conventional pickups, they do not sense the up and down movement of the board, but the natural back and forth vibration of the fingerboard. This makes the sound much more natural, colourful and pleasing, and more responsive to the dynamics of your playing. At the same time, the new preamp makes the signal 25% stronger. Of course, feedback is eliminated and you can adjust the volume, bass and treble.

The guitar comes in a durable soft case (Aerocase).

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