This Taylor 214ce-QS Deluxe Limited Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Natural is brand new, comes with its full manufacturer's warranty, and original hardshell case. The 214ce QS is a limited edition offering built with Quilted Sapele back and sides. This Cousin of Mahogany offers the same kind of tones but typically offers a more interesting visual vibe. This model has Quilted Sapele, a type of figuring that appears to move and shift as you view the guitar from a variety of angles.
I wrote a blog about Sapele, please check it out here! This is a marvelous tonewood, which, to my ears, is indiscernible from mahogany. It's focused, powerful, articulate, and mid-range-centric. Never boomy or bass dominant, the mids and highs are the star of the show. Teamed with a spruce top, you have a familiar tonewood combo found on thousands of often-heard songs.
The neck is made from Mahogany and is carved to Taylor's Standard Profile. In other words, if you have played one Taylor and enjoyed it, then you'll most likely like this neck too! Topped with an Ebony Fingerboard that carries a 15" fingerboard radius, this neck feels like those found on guitar exponentially more expensive. 25.5" scale length keeps the strings feeling taut and compliments the wood selection perfectly.
Taylor's 200 series Deluxe and Limited Edition Models offer serious value. An upgraded hardshell case, Taylor's Expression System 2, tasty tonewoods, and gloss finishes take Taylor's 200s to the next level!
