The Taylor 414ce represents a new chapter in acoustic guitar design — one where next-generation engineering meets the timeless warmth of premium tonewoods. Built around a Grand Auditorium body, it's the all-purpose workhorse that working musicians have always needed, now elevated with innovations that change how you play, sound, and connect with your instrument.

Action Control Neck™ — Play It Your Way

At the heart of the 414ce's playability is Taylor's breakthrough Action Control Neck™. This long-tenon neck joint doesn't just add sonic warmth and depth — it gives you the ability to make precise, on-the-fly string height adjustments without a trip to the shop. Whether you're dialing in low action for fast fingerpicking or raising it slightly for slide work, the Action Control Neck puts that control in your hands, exactly where it belongs.

Claria System — Your Amplified Voice, Perfected

When it's time to plug in, the Claria System delivers a natural, studio-quality amplified tone that honors the acoustic character of the guitar. The soundhole-mounted preamp features an intuitive Mid-Contour knob that lets you sculpt your midrange with precision — cutting through a live mix or sitting back in a studio blend with equal ease. From rehearsal to the main stage, the Claria System ensures your 414ce sounds as good amplified as it does unplugged.

Next-Generation Tone, Built In

Solid rosewood back and sides paired with a solid Sitka spruce top deliver the 414ce's signature voice: warm lows, pristine highs, and a slightly scooped midrange that sits beautifully in any mix. Scalloped V-Class® bracing unlocks enhanced volume, sustain, and harmonic agreement across the entire fretboard — notes ring true from the open strings all the way up the neck.
