A Sonic Powerhouse: The Taylor 414ce Studio
The 414ce Studio is built to perform in any musical setting. Its Grand Auditorium body shape, a Taylor signature, provides a versatile foundation that handles everything from delicate fingerpicking to powerful strumming with ease. This all-purpose body style ensures a balanced sound across the entire tonal spectrum, making it a favorite among musicians of all genres. The guitar's back and sides are crafted from solid Indian rosewood, a tonewood prized for its high-fidelity sound and lush overtones. This is paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, which undergoes a special roasting process to produce a warm, clear, and projective tone with a played-in character. The result is a guitar with bell-like trebles, a robust low end, and a rich harmonic texture that will inspire your creativity.
When you're ready to plug in, the onboard Expression System® 2 (ES2) electronics capture the guitar's dynamic properties with stunning accuracy. The breakthrough behind-the-saddle design ensures that the full range of the guitar's voice is translated into a clear and natural amplified sound, perfect for live performance or recording. The Venetian cutaway offers easy access to the upper frets, while the slender Taylor neck profile ensures a relaxed and comfortable playing experience for hours on end.
Premium Materials and Craftsmanship
Taylor Guitars is committed to using ethically sourced and sustainable materials, and the 414ce Studio is a testament to this philosophy. The guitar's top is made from torrefied Sitka spruce, which not only provides a warm, vintage-like tone but also enhances the wood's stability. The back and sides are solid Indian rosewood, a legendary tonewood known for its rich, complex sound. The neck is crafted from neo-tropical mahogany, providing a stable and comfortable feel, while the fretboard is made from West African Crelicam ebony, a beautiful and durable wood that adds to the guitar's overall clarity and sustain. Every detail of the 414ce Studio has been carefully considered, from the faux pearl dot inlays to the tortoise pickguard and nickel tuners.
