Taylor 414CE Next Generation Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar

Product Description

The Taylor 414ce Next Generation Grand Auditorium Acoustic Electric Guitar combines the versatility of Taylor's flagship body shape with premium tonewoods and innovative new design features. Featuring a Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, the 414ce delivers a rich, balanced acoustic voice with warm bass, clear trebles and a slightly scooped midrange, making it an excellent choice for fingerstyle playing, strumming and live performance.

Taylor's next-generation scalloped V-Class bracing enhances resonance, volume and sustain while improving harmonic agreement across the fingerboard. The result is a responsive, articulate instrument with impressive tonal depth and clarity. The Grand Auditorium body provides a comfortable playing experience while offering the dynamic range and versatility required by working musicians.

A significant advancement is Taylor's new Action Control Neck, featuring a long-tenon joint designed to enhance warmth and resonance. Its innovative adjustment system also allows precise changes to string height, making it easier to maintain optimal playability. The neo-tropical mahogany neck is paired with a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard for a smooth, comfortable playing experience.

For amplified performance, the 414ce features Taylor's new Claria Acoustic Pickup System. This redesigned piezo pickup and preamp combination delivers clear, natural acoustic tone, with convenient soundhole-mounted controls and a Mid-Contour adjustment for shaping your sound on stage or in the studio.

Finished in Natural with a gloss body, the 414ce features elegant Weathervane fingerboard inlays, black binding, a distinctive firestripe pickguard and Taylor nickel tuners. A Taylor Deluxe Brown Hardshell Case is included for secure storage and transport.
