Taylor 210ce Deluxe Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:Classic dreadnought volume combined with clear treble Solid Sitka spruce top gives you wonderfully clear and balanced tone Taylor's Expression System 2 delivers incredibly natural sound with full dynamicsClassic dreadnought volume combined with clear treble A traditional shape refined, the 210ce Deluxe combines classic dreadnought volume and bass response with the definitive Taylor sound: clear trebles and an open, airy midrange that Bob Taylor's signature design accentuates. Like all dreadnoughts, the 210ce Deluxe responds especially well to flatpicking or light-to-heavy strumming. Solid Sitka spruce top gives you wonderfully clear and balanced tone To give the 210ce Deluxe full tone and and clear projection, Taylor added a solid Sitka spruce top to its layered rosewood back and sides. The characteristically open sound of this spruce top really balances the tone of the 210ce Deluxe, making it a wonderful guitar for any style of music you play. Taylor's Expression System 2 delivers incredibly natural sound with full dynamics Traditionally, acoustic-electric guitars have employed under-saddle piezo transducers, but Taylor has discovered a better way. Their revolutionary Expression System 2 uses a proprietary pickup behind the saddle. The pickup's three individually calibrated, precisely positioned piezo-electric sensors respond organically to the instrument's acoustic energy as it's transferred through the saddle. In concert with Taylor's custom-designed preamp (which delivers a 25% hotter signal), the result is a more natural acoustic sound with incredible dynamic range and responsiveness to your pick or finger attack. guitar gurus are mightily impressed with Taylor's Expression System 2. Whether you're onstage through a PA, plugged into an acoustic amp, or direct into recording software, the ES2 faithfully conveys the voice of a Taylor guitar.
