Upgraded with a Torrefied Sitka Spruce top.
The square-shouldered 14-fret dreadnought is the most popular steel-string acoustic guitar body shape in the world. While Collings is certainly not the only company to build them, they bring a new tonal clarity to the depth and warmth usually associated with such a large, deep-bodied guitar. Although its bass response makes the dreadnought ideal for vocal accompaniment, Collings versions are also often employed by bluegrass flatpickers who must compete with inherently louder instruments such as banjos and fiddles.

Based on Larrivee's tried and true "X-Brace" design, Jean blended a non-symmetrical scalloped lateral cross-bracing pattern with their standard X-Brace. This means maximum strength using the least amount of material. It's a build that allows even further vibration of the soundboard, while still offering a controlled dynamic bass response. Like all Larrivée's, the 40 Series are built in America using only all solid wood and feature upgrades like bone nut and saddle, diamond fingerboard dots, and 18:1 open-back tuners. Jean's revolutionary new bracing design means a robust and unique tone that is sure to appeal to traditional and long-time Larrivée players alike.

With its highly versatile sound and comfortable feel, the 214ce is an ideal choice for virtually any type of player looking for a steel-string acoustic that can do everything. It starts with the Grand Auditorium body shape, which boasts player-friendly contours and an all-purpose tone profile. A solid torrefied spruce top serves up bold, clear projection with a touch of aged-in warmth thanks to our special roasting process, while the C-Class interior bracing dials up the response with more volume, longer sustain and a boost to low-end power. Taylor's always-comfortable neck design makes for relaxed fretting to accommodate players of all skill levels, and the built-in ES2 electronics mean you're prepared to plug in and play anywhere you go.

The maple back and sides are a perfect reflector for the tone generated by the soundboard, and the gloss black finish looks great under the stage lights. The mahogany neck is joined to the body with a traditional, ultra strong dovetail joint. Includes Takamine's CT4B II preamp system paired with the unique Palathetic under-saddle pickup for peerless amplified response.
