Its torrefied spruce top features a rich black finish, while layered Indian rosewood back and sides are accented by an artfully hand-sprayed shaded edgeburst.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eBeneath the striking aesthetic is the comfortable playing experience and versatile acoustic voice that have made the 214ce a player favorite. Torrefied spruce contributes warm, played-in character, while C-Class bracing delivers strong projection and a balanced response across the register. The result is a clear, versatile voice that works beautifully for strumming, fingerstyle and everything in between. A slender satin-finish neck provides a smooth, comfortable feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhite appointments provide a crisp contrast to the black finish, including a three-ring white rosette, white heel cap and white body binding traced by thin white purfling on the top and sides.
