Taylor 414ce-R Rosewood Grand Auditorium Tobacco Sunburst

This is what Taylor Guitars say about the 414ce Rosewood:

Versatile Tone, Stage-Ready Performance
With its adaptable Grand Auditorium body shape and time-tested tonewood combination, the 414ce is built to excel across a wide range of musical styles. Its rosewood back and sides paired with a Sitka spruce top deliver rich low-end warmth, sparkling highs, and a subtly scooped midrange—producing a balanced, dynamic voice.

Enhanced by Taylor’s V-Class bracing for improved volume and sustain, this model is a top choice for gigging musicians and studio players alike. Visually, the 414ce stands out with a bold sunburst top and refined Finial fretboard inlays. Outfitted with onboard ES2 electronics and a deluxe hardshell case, it’s ready for any stage, studio, or session.

New Tobacco Sunburst Top
The warm, earthy Tobacco Sunburst finish adds a rustic elegance that complements the tonal depth of the rosewood/spruce combination. Refined visual touches include an agoya shell rosette and the graceful “Finial” inlay pattern in Italian acrylic—drawing inspiration from classic architectural flourishes.

V-Class Bracing
Taylor’s innovative V-Class bracing enhances both volume and sustain while unlocking the full sonic potential of the rosewood and spruce tonewood pairing. The result is a lush, harmonically rich sound with blooming overtones and exceptional tonal balance across the frequency range.

Indian Rosewood & Sitka Spruce Top
The 414ce offers a highly versatile tonal palette, housed in a body that strikes the perfect balance between comfort and projection—making it an ideal fit for virtually any playing style. With its rich low end, sparkling highs, and scooped midrange, this guitar shines both solo and in ensemble settings, blending beautifully with vocals and other instruments.

ES2 Electronics
At the core of the Expression System 2 is Taylor’s proprietary behind-the-saddle pickup design, featuring three strategically placed and individually calibrated sensors. This configuration captures a wider dynamic range and delivers a more natural, expressive amplified acoustic tone.

Deluxe Hardshell Case
Includes a premium brown hardshell case, offering robust protection for your guitar wherever your music takes you.
