Taylor - 414ce Natural Next Generation

The Taylor 414ce Next Generation guitar is based on a classic combination of solid woods, giving its sound a clear identity.

The Sitka spruce top adds clarity and dynamics, maintaining good definition even when playing hard. The solid Indian rosewood back and sides enrich the lower register and add wider harmonics, giving more depth to the chords. This slightly hollowed-out midrange base leaves space for vocals and other instruments in the mix.

The Grand Auditorium shape combines these qualities, maintaining a constant balance between power, precision and playing comfort. The Scalloped V-Class bracing accentuates the low frequencies and improves the sustain of the notes, while reinforcing the coherence between the strings throughout the neck. This architecture favours a homogeneous response, both when strumming and when playing with more nuance.

The mahogany neck features the Action Control system, which makes it easy to adjust the string height to suit your touch. The long neck also helps to transmit vibrations more directly to the body, enhancing the feeling of depth in the sound. The Crelicam ebony fingerboard from West Africa provides a fluid, precise playing surface. The new Weathervane markers and the Italian acrylic rosette complete the sober, meticulous aesthetic. The Venetian cutaway facilitates access to the treble without altering the overall balance of the body.

The Claria pick-up system delivers a clear, stable signal, designed for use on stage or in the studio without complex adjustments. Built-in controls allow you to quickly adjust the midrange to suit the context. The guitar comes in a Taylor Deluxe hard case for transport and protection.
