The specialist's opinion
The Taylor 414ce Next Generation combines the versatile Grand Auditorium format with the latest innovations developed by Taylor Guitars.
Designed to adapt to a wide range of musical situations, it offers an ideal tonal balance for both stage and studio musicians.
Its rosewood back and sides combined with a Sitka spruce top produce a wide, dynamic register. Warm lows, precise highs and a slightly hollowed-out midrange - a sound signature particularly appreciated for accompanying a variety of musical styles.
The V-Class scalloped bracing enhances low-end response while increasing volume, sustain and harmonic coherence throughout the length of the neck. The new Action Control Neck with long tenon contributes to better vibration transmission and enables precise, rapid string height adjustment.
Aesthetically, the 414ce features a glossy finish on the body, black binding, firestripe pickguard and Taylor nickel tuners. The Fingerboard is adorned with the new Weathervane inlays, while the single Italian acrylic rosette is highlighted by black and white purfling.
It features the new Claria electronic system with controls integrated into the rosette. The Mid-Contour control makes it easy to adjust the midrange for a balanced amplified sound, both on stage and in the studio. The instrument comes with a deluxe hard case.
