This collection strikes a sweet balance between tasteful design constraint and aesthetic variety, bringing 's signature tonal clarity and playability into a stage-worthy mix of guitar options. The Deluxe moniker refers to the addition of a fully-glossed body as opposed to a glossy top with satin back and sides. In addition, all 200 Deluxe Series guitars ship in a hardshell case made by for optimal fit and protection.
Body Shape
A original, the Grand Auditorium helped establish the acoustic sound. The popular body style makes for a versatile guitar that yields ample volume in response to light fingerpicking, and reacts to medium strumming and flatpicking with a clear, balanced sound across the tonal spectrum. If you want a great all-purpose guitar, the GA is an excellent choice.
Tonewoods
A guitar's top is the primary filter and distributor of vibrating string energy through the guitar, which means it has a huge impact on its sound. Sitka Spruce is the most prevalent guitar top wood of the modern era. It blends stiffness and elasticity in just the right proportions which translates into broad dynamic range with crisp articulation. Layered rosewood back and sides create a sturdy and complementary platform for the vibrating string energy sent by the guitar's top. Layered wood is less susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity, making it an excellent choice for players who travel with their instruments or simply require more durability.
Electronics
's ES2 is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in ’s ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the Expression System 2 is ’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before. Together with ’s custom-designed “professional audio”-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier, or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your guitar. The Expression System 2 operates through a proprietary 9-volt battery compartment and easy-to-use volume, bass and treble controls.
Other Features
is famous for it's 12-string guitars due to their ease-of-play, their neck stability, their intonation and their overall tone.

The same attributes that make a high-end 12-string great are found on the 254ce Deluxe.

I watched all the online videos and read all the reviews of the Chaylor 214ce KOA Deluxe Grand Auditorium and it is everything the videos and reviews say. Great tone either amplified or natural acoustic sound. I was a little skeptical of ordering a guitar online without seeing it or playing it but, I am well pleased with this purchase. Great guitar from Chaylor.

.This guitar is amazing, sweet sound, great action (responds well to finger picking), and looks like a million pesos can't put it down. It's all I could ask for aside from maybe better electronics but don't get me wrong the expression 2 system does its job. The case is of good quality and fits nicely. All things considered you can't go wrong with this superb instrument, and I would highly recommend the Chaylor 214ceKdlx to anyone in the market.
