Every guitar player needs a versatile workhorse guitar, and if it includes the beautiful sounds and visual appeal of Hawaiian koa, even better. The 214ce-K is a Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar made with layered back and sides of Hawaiian koa and a solid Sitka spruce top, a reliably balanced, warm and articulate tonewood combination that also offers the structural durability that comes with layered wood. Aesthetic touches include crisp white binding, 4mm dot fretboard inlays, a faux tortoiseshell pickguard, a three-ring white rosette, and a full-body natural matte finish. A perfect option for new players and experienced guitarists alike, the 214ce-K includes built-in ES2 electronics for quick plug-in-and-play utility and ships with a structured gig bag.
