Taylor Next Generation 414ce

With its versatile Grand Auditorium body shape, next-generation design features and classic tonewood pairing, the 414ce is all set to perform in a wide range of musical applications. Rosewood back and sides matched with a Sitka spruce top serve up warm lows, pristine highs and a slightly scooped midrange, yielding a dynamic tonal character ideal for working musicians across genres and styles. New scalloped V-Class® bracing ensures a rich low-end response, while enhancing volume, sustain and harmonic agreement between notes played along the entire fretboard. A new long-tenon Action Control Neck™ contributes extra sonic warmth and depth while enabling precise, on-the-fly string height adjustments.

Visually, the 414ce features a gloss-finish body, black body binding, a firestripe pickguard, Taylor nickel tuners, new Weathervane inlays and a single-ring Italian acrylic rosette with black and white purfling.

Equipped with Taylor’s new Claria System electronics, players are well-equipped for studio sessions, live performances and everything in between. The new preamp/pickup combo features soundhole-mounted controls, including a Mid-Contour knob that helps shape the midrange with unprecedented ease. To keep the instrument fully protected wherever the music takes them, this model comes in a deluxe hardshell case.
