Key Features of the Taylor 414ce-R:

• V-Class Bracing for Enhanced Sound and Sustain: The V-Class bracing on the Taylor 414ce-R optimizes the guitar’s top performance by providing greater stiffness parallel to the strings, resulting in improved sustain, volume, and overall tonal balance. This innovative bracing system also enhances the instrument's natural intonation, creating a more harmonious relationship between notes and chords for a superior playing experience.

• Premium Tonewoods for Superior Sound Quality: The 414ce-R features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid Indian rosewood back and sides, delivering a full-bodied, articulate sound with rich bass, sparkling treble, and balanced mids. The rosewood's depth and warmth make it perfect for a wide range of playing styles, from light fingerpicking to aggressive strumming.

• Classic Grand Auditorium Body Shape for Versatility: Taylor’s Grand Auditorium body shape combines a comfortable size with a wide dynamic range, making it ideal for both strumming and fingerstyle playing. The body's contours provide exceptional comfort and easy access to higher frets, making it an excellent choice for performers who value playability.

• Taylor ES2 Electronics for Authentic Acoustic Tone: The Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics capture the true acoustic sound of the 414ce-R with stunning clarity and depth. The system's unique three-sensor design is positioned behind the saddle to accurately reproduce the guitar's natural tone, offering complete control over your amplified sound with easy-to-use volume and tone controls, along with a phase switch to reduce feedback on stage.

• Elegant Design and Premium Appointments: The Tobacco Sunburst finish gives the 414ce-R a sophisticated look that stands out on stage, complemented by Finial fretboard inlays, an ebony fingerboard, and a three-ring soundhole rosette. Nickel tuners ensure precise tuning stability, making this guitar a reliable choice for both live performance and recording.
