Taylor 214ce-QM DLX

The Guitarchive -

The 214ce Quilt Maple Deluxe features Taylor's Grand Auditorium body style. While it has the width and depth of a dreadnought, its tapered waist and graceful contours give it the appearance of a smaller instrument. Not only does it look stunning, but it also provides balance and presence to the big, resonant sound that has made it a favorite among recording engineers.

With its slender and fast neck, playing the 214ce Quilt Maple Deluxe feels effortless. Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and layered quilt maple back and sides, the 214ce Quilt Maple Deluxe offers wonderfully clear and balanced tone. The spruce top enhances the guitar's projection, while the quilt maple gives it a unique sound (and a great look!).

Equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics, the 214ce Quilt Maple Deluxe faithfully reproduces the guitar's natural acoustic tone when plugged in. This innovative system captures the top and string vibrations with three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors, resulting in a highly accurate amplified sound. Developed in collaboration with renowned audio pioneer Mr. Rupert Neve, Taylor's electronics are seamlessly integrated into the guitar's design, ensuring exceptional sonic performance.
