Sitka and walnut: a classic tonewood combination
Layered walnut back and sides give the 214ce a warm, airy presence that’s typically easy-going but tightens up with a midrange growl when played aggressively. Walnut has long been a preferred acoustic tonewood for studio work, and you’ll find the 214ce dynamically responds to your fingers’ mood and energy. This 214ce boasts powerful projection, perhaps even more than previous generations! Taylor now treats the 214ce’s solid Sitka spruce top to a special roasting procedure known as torrefaction. This process enhances spruce’s musicality (and looks) by removing moisture and sugars for a lighter, more resonant top that vibrates with ease.
