Taylor 414ce Next Generation Acoustic Electric w/Case

Grand Auditorium versatility with rosewood depth, Sitka clarity and Claria electronics

Overview

The Taylor 414ce Next Generation Acoustic Electric is built for players who need one highly versatile guitar that can move easily between stage, studio, writing sessions and everyday playing. Its Grand Auditorium body pairs Indian rosewood back and sides with a Sitka spruce top, producing warm lows, clear trebles and a slightly scooped midrange with a dynamic response that works across many styles. Scalloped V-Class bracing, Taylor’s long-tenon Action Control Neck and the Claria Acoustic Pickup System give this 414ce a modern feel, rich acoustic response and flexible amplified tone.

Features

The classic Sitka spruce and Indian rosewood pairing gives the 414ce a broad, polished acoustic voice. Sitka spruce provides projection, clarity and dynamic range, while Indian rosewood adds low-end warmth, pristine highs and blooming overtones. In Taylor’s Grand Auditorium body shape, that combination makes the guitar adaptable enough for strumming, fingerstyle, recording, live performance and players who cover a wide range of genres.

Next Generation upgrades help this model feel more resonant, expressive and easy to personalize. Scalloped V-Class bracing enhances volume, sustain, harmonic agreement and low-end richness across the fretboard. The long-tenon Action Control Neck contributes extra warmth and depth while allowing precise string-height adjustment, making it easier to fine-tune the guitar’s feel without a complicated setup process.

The 414ce also includes Taylor’s Claria Acoustic Pickup System for clear and adaptable plugged-in tone. Its soundhole-mounted controls include a Mid-Contour control that makes it easier to shape the midrange for different performance settings. Visual details include a gloss-finish body, black body binding, firestripe pickguard, Taylor nickel tuners, Weathervane inlays and a single-ring Italian acrylic rosette with black and white purfling. A Taylor deluxe hardshell brown case is included for proper protection.
