Torrefied Spruce Top and Walnut Back and Sides

At the heart of the 214ce LH's robust tone is a torrefied sitka spruce top. The torrefication process enhances the wood's resonance and projection while promoting greater clarity across the tonal range. Your individual notes will sing with improved articulation and longer sustain. Walnut, similar in timbre to mahogany, lends midrange sweetness and low-end focus to the spruce's airy overtones. The layered walnut back and sides provide exceptional stability and visual appeal. Together, these tonewoods yield a guitar voice that's powerful yet focused, with excellent note separation and a strong midrange core.

Whether you're jamming with friends or tracking in the studio, the ES2 pickup system will faithfully reproduce the 214ce's balanced, articulate voice.
