A Sonic Canvas of Uncharted Depth

This isn't just another acoustic; it's an invitation to explore a totally new sonic territory. The Taylor 414ce Baritone 8-String Special Edition is a rare breed, a creative tool that combines the deep, resonant voice of a baritone with the shimmering, chorus-like complexity of an 8-string. Tuned B-to-B, it opens up a world of low-end richness, while the paired octave strings on the A and D add a top-end sparkle that's absolutely mesmerizing. It’s a sound that can fill a room all on its own, perfect for the solo singer-songwriter or the adventurous instrumentalist.

Timeless Tonewoods, Grand Auditorium Body

The foundation of this guitar's voice is its classic pairing of a solid Sitka Spruce top and solid Indian Rosewood back and sides. Sitka provides the punch, clarity, and dynamic range, ensuring every note you play has life and articulation. Rosewood brings the warmth and harmonic complexity, with a deep low-end and ringing, bell-like trebles. Taylor's versatile Grand Auditorium body shape strikes the perfect balance, offering a powerful voice for strumming, a nuanced response for fingerstyle, and a comfortable playing experience whether you're on the couch or on the stage.

Built for Performance

The 27-inch scale length is key to the baritone's thunderous voice, providing the perfect tension for those lower tunings while remaining surprisingly comfortable to play. The neo-tropical mahogany neck with its standard carve feels familiar and inviting, while the West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard provides a smooth, slick playing surface. When you're ready to plug in, the onboard Taylor Claria electronics faithfully translate the guitar's rich acoustic character, giving you a stage-ready rig that sounds massive and detailed through any PA system.

- 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.

That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- 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.
