The Do-It-All Taylor 414ce That Never Gets Left At Home
If you want one acoustic that can cover Sunday morning, Thursday night rehearsal, studio dates, and backyard hangs, this 414ce is that guitar. Classic rosewood and spruce tone, modern V-Class power, and Taylor’s effortless playability all land in a super comfortable Grand Auditorium body.
Grand Auditorium Body With Rosewood And Spruce Sweetness
The Grand Auditorium shape hits that sweet spot between a focused OM and a big dreadnought. It is loud enough to hang with a band, yet responsive enough to whispery fingerstyle without getting boomy.
Indian rosewood back and sides with a Sitka spruce top give you that proven recipe: warm, throaty low end, glassy bell-like highs, and a lush bloom of overtones around every chord. Chords stay full and piano-like, while single notes pop with clarity.
V-Class Bracing For Volume, Sustain, And Intonation
Taylor’s V-Class bracing changes how this guitar moves. You get more headroom and volume when you dig in, longer sustain on held notes, and noticeably better tuning stability up the neck.
Real talk, if you play a lot of open chords and big voicings higher on the fretboard, you will hear how in tune everything sounds. It records beautifully because the notes line up and the top is free to sing.
Plug-In Ready With ES2 Electronics
The Expression System 2 keeps the natural acoustic character of the guitar when you plug into a PA, acoustic amp, or interface. It responds to your touch, from delicate fingerstyle to hard strumming, without getting quacky or harsh.
Whether you are leading worship, playing writers rounds, or tracking at home, you can trust the ES2 to give you a clear, musical signal that sits right in the mix.
Effortless Neck And Player-Friendly Details
The neo-tropical mahogany neck with Taylor’s StandardCarve profile feels instantly familiar. The satin finish keeps things fast and smooth, so your hand never sticks, even on long sets.
West African Crelicam ebony for both fingerboard and bridge adds a solid, immediate feel under your fingers, while the Venetian cutaway keeps upper-fret work easy. At just 4.8 pounds, this 414ce feels light and balanced on a strap or in your lap.
