The 214ce Plus is a fantastic all-around guitar for gigging singer-songwriters and intermediate players. The torrefied top gives it a surprisingly mature voice, and the ES2 electronics are a huge upgrade for amplified performance. It's a well-built, reliable instrument that strikes a great balance between quality and affordability.
