Taylor 414ce Natural, Next Generation Electro Acoustic Guitar, Grand Auditorium

The Taylor 414ce Natural Next Generation Electro Acoustic Guitar Grand Auditorium is built for players who want professional-level performance wrapped in timeless acoustic character. Combining solid Indian rosewood back and sides with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, this next-generation Grand Auditorium delivers a bold, expressive voice with sparkling detail, warm resonance, and exceptional balance across every frequency.

Powered by Taylor’s innovative V-Class bracing system, the 414ce offers increased sustain, enhanced projection, and improved intonation, allowing chords to bloom naturally and single notes to sing with remarkable clarity. From delicate fingerpicked melodies to energetic strumming patterns, this guitar adapts effortlessly to every playing style.

Its elegant natural finish highlights the organic beauty of the tonewoods, while the sleek body contours and effortless neck profile create a smooth, comfortable playing experience for hours on end. Equipped with Taylor’s acclaimed Expression System® 2 electronics, the 414ce captures every subtle detail with studio-quality clarity, making it equally at home on stage, in the studio, or around the songwriting table.

Sophisticated yet endlessly versatile, the Taylor 414ce is crafted for musicians who want premium tone, flawless playability, and timeless acoustic character in one inspiring instrument.

• 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.
