Here's what is said about this guitar.
The Taylor Custom 414ce Grand Auditorium is a versatile acoustic-electric guitar known for its balanced sound and premium solid-wood construction. While the standard 414ce typically features Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce, "Custom" models often include unique tonewood pairings or upgraded aesthetics tailored for specific retailers or players.
Key Features and Specifications
Body Shape: Grand Auditorium, Taylor’s most popular and versatile shape, designed for both light fingerpicking and medium strumming.
Bracing: Features the revolutionary V-Class bracing, which acts as a "sonic engine" to boost volume, sustain, and improve intonation across the fretboard.
Electronics: Equipped with the Expression System 2 (ES2), utilizing a behind-the-saddle pickup with three sensors to capture a natural, dynamic amplified tone.
Tonewoods (Standard/Select Custom):
Top: Typically Sitka Spruce for projection or Torrefied Spruce for an aged, warm sound. Some custom editions use Sinker Redwood.
Back/Sides: Solid Indian Rosewood for rich lows and sparkling highs, though custom orders may feature African Ovangkol or Mahogany.
Playability: Includes a Neo-Tropical Mahogany neck with a smooth satin finish and a West African Ebony fingerboard.
