Product Description
The Taylor 414ce Studio Special Electro Acoustic in Honeyburst pairs a lush, vintage-inspired aesthetic with a refined, contemporary voice. Its torrefied solid spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides deliver a bold, blooming tone that works just as well for delicate fingerstyle as it does for strummed accompaniment, while Taylor’s V-Class bracing and ES2 electronics ensure that same richness and clarity carries effortlessly onto the stage or into the studio.
Finished in a full-body Honey Sunburst gloss, this Grand Auditorium feels as good as it looks. Chamfered body edges, a slim Taylor neck and Venetian cutaway make it an inviting, player-friendly instrument that encourages long sessions without fatigue. Whether you are a songwriter, a gigging acoustic player or a home-recording enthusiast, the 414ce Studio Special Honeyburst offers a versatile, inspiring platform that rewards every touch.
Rich, Torrefied Spruce Top Tone
At the heart of the 414ce Studio Special is a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top. The torrefaction process gently ages the wood, giving it a played-in warmth and responsiveness straight out of the case. You get bold projection with a sweet, rounded high end, making every note feel open and expressive whether you are picking softly or digging in with a heavier strum.
Lush Indian Rosewood Depth
Solid Indian rosewood back and sides add a sophisticated layer of harmonic complexity to the guitar’s voice. Expect clear, sparkling trebles, a supportive midrange and rumbling low-end power, all wrapped in a halo of blooming overtones. This classic tonewood pairing gives you a wide dynamic range and a sound that sits beautifully in a mix, whether live or recorded.
V-Class Bracing and Grand Auditorium Versatility
Inside the body, Taylor’s V-Class bracing optimises the way the top moves, increasing volume, sustain and pitch accuracy across the fretboard. Chords ring with more focus and single notes hold on longer, making it easier to play in tune with other instruments. Combined with the Grand Auditorium shape, you get a do-it-all acoustic that handles fingerstyle, flatpicking and strumming with equal authority.
Stage-Ready ES2 Electronics and Comfortable Playability
Taylor’s Expression System 2 electronics capture the guitar’s natural acoustic character with impressive detail and dynamic range. The behind-the-saddle pickup design responds to your touch, so your nuances come through clearly when plugged in. A slim, satin-finished neo-tropical mahogany neck, West African Crelicam ebony fretboard and chamfered body edges ensure a smooth, comfortable feel that encourages confident playing all the way up to the Venetian cutaway.
