Taylor Next Generation 614ce Electro Acoustic Guitar in Antique Blonde

Meet the Next Generation 614ce, a versatile Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric boasting performance-enhancing features to match its sharp visual style. This model sports back and sides of beautifully figured Big Leaf maple, yielding an expressive voice that channels each player's unique touch. A top of torrefied Sitka spruce adds rich projection and clarity with a splash of aged-in warmth and sweetness, while the scalloped V-Class bracing inside improves volume, sustain and open-string richness. Other Next-Gen features include an Action Control Neck, offering unmatched microadjustability, and new Claria electronics with intuitive soundhole-mounted controls for clear, adaptable sound in any live scenario. Visual cues include Wings fretboard inlays in green abalone, faux-tortoiseshell binding with a matching pickguard, and a glossy Antique Blond finish treatment. The Next Generation 614ce ships with a deluxe hardshell guitar case.

• Long-Tenon Action Control Neck -The long-tenon neck joint improves the neck-to-body connection, adding warmth and depth to the guitar’s voice. At the same time, the Action Control feature makes adjusting string height quicker and more precise than ever — no need to remove strings or the neck. Players can dial in their preferred setup in seconds and adapt on the fly to changing styles or shifting climate conditions. It’s the ultimate fusion of tone, stability and setup convenience.
• Scalloped V-Class Bracing - The latest evolution of Taylor’s V-Class bracing introduces a scalloped profile that unlocks a warmer low end and richer open-string resonance, while preserving the balance, pitch accuracy and projection that define V-Class. The guitars are now seasoned with a touch of low-end depth that adds more fullness to the voice.
• Claria System Acoustic Electronics - Developed with extensive input from touring artists and live sound engineers, Taylor’s new Claria System reimagines the under-saddle piezo pickup to deliver consistent plug-and-play acoustic tone in any setting. A proprietary preamp tames the harshness of traditional piezos and incorporates soundhole-mounted controls: Volume, Tone and a versatile Mid-Contour knob. The result is a consistent, stage-ready tone that’s easy to shape for any setting — from solo café gigs to large-venue performances.
