Taylor Next Generation 414ce Grand Auditorium Cutaway Electro Acoustic Guitar

Solid rosewood and Sitka spruce, together with our versatile Grand Auditorium shape, translate into a classic workhorse instrument for fans of rosewood’s deep lows and sparkling highs. Scalloped V-Class bracing and the long-tenon neck add more warmth and richness across the tonal spectrum, especially in the mids. Gigging players will love the onboard Claria electronics, which make it easy to shape their amplified sound for any performance setting.

• 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.
• Indian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce top - The 414CE delivers highly versatile sound in a package that hits the sweet spot of size and comfort for virtually all types of guitar players. Rich lows and pristine highs make for a highly adaptable sound, with a scooped midrange character that lets the 414CE play especially well in arrangements with other instruments and vocals.
