A Sonic Workhorse, Dressed to Impress

Meet the Taylor 414ce Studio Special Edition—a guitar that perfectly blends workhorse reliability with stage-ready aesthetics. This Grand Auditorium is crafted from the timeless combination of a solid Sitka Spruce top and solid Indian Rosewood back and sides, delivering a sound that's both powerful and nuanced. The special edition Honeyburst finish gives it a warm, vintage vibe that looks incredible under the lights. But the real magic is on the inside. Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing transforms the way the top vibrates, giving you longer sustain, more volume, and purer notes all the way up the neck.

V-Class Bracing: A Revolution in Tone

Forget everything you thought you knew about acoustic bracing. Andy Powers' V-Class architecture is a game-changer. It stiffens the top in a way that allows for incredible volume and sustain while simultaneously improving the guitar's intonation. What does that mean for you? Chords ring out with beautiful, harmonic purity, and single notes seem to hang in the air forever. It’s a design that makes this guitar more musically expressive, whether you're a gentle fingerpicker or a hard-charging strummer.

Expression System® 2: Your True Voice, Amplified

When it's time to plug in, Taylor's Expression System® 2 electronics have your back. This isn't your typical under-saddle pickup. The ES2 features three uniquely positioned sensors behind the saddle that capture the dynamic range and warmth of your guitar's natural voice. The result is a breathtakingly faithful amplified tone that's perfect for the stage or the studio. Simple, onboard controls for volume, bass, and treble make it easy to dial in your sound on the fly.

That Famous Taylor Playability

The Grand Auditorium body shape is the Swiss Army knife of acoustic guitars, comfortable to hold and versatile enough for any style. Paired with a sleek Neo-Tropical Mahogany neck and a smooth West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard, you get a playing experience that's pure butter. It’s a fast, comfortable neck that feels almost like an electric, encouraging hours of play without fatigue. The Venetian cutaway offers effortless access to the upper frets, so you can explore the entire fingerboard with ease.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum! Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal “on the phone” description of this guitar. Thank you for looking at our listing!
