Taylor Next Generation 414ce Indian Rosewood / Sitka Grand Auditorium Electro Acoustic

This is what Taylor Guitars say about the Next Generation 414ce:

Next Generation 414ce

Designed for versatility and performance, the Next Generation Taylor 414ce acoustic-electric guitar features a Grand Auditorium body shape paired with next-generation design enhancements and a time-tested tonewood combination. Rosewood back and sides combined with a Sitka spruce top deliver warm, resonant lows, clear sparkling highs, and a subtly scooped midrange, creating a balanced, dynamic sound suited for professional musicians across multiple genres.

Enhanced with updated scalloped V-Class bracing, the 414ce offers improved low-end response, increased volume, longer sustain, and superior harmonic alignment across the entire fretboard. The new long-tenon Action Control Neck adds depth and warmth to the guitar’s voice while allowing precise, on-the-fly string height adjustments for optimal playability.

Aesthetically, the 414ce showcases a high-gloss body finish with black binding, a firestripe pickguard, Taylor nickel tuners, elegant Weathervane inlays, and a single-ring Italian acrylic rosette accented with black and white purfling.

Outfitted with Taylor’s latest Claria System electronics, this acoustic-electric guitar is stage- and studio-ready. The advanced preamp and pickup system features intuitive soundhole-mounted controls, including a Mid-Contour knob for effortless midrange shaping. For maximum protection on the road or at home, the 414ce includes a deluxe hardshell case.
