Reverb Estimated Used Price Range

Introduced in 1994, the Grand Auditorium has earned a place as Taylor's most popular body design. The 414 model name indicates that this guitar is a part of the 400-series, which uses a Sitka Spruce top on Ovangkol back and sides. The 14 in the name labels this as a Grand Auditorium, and the CE means that it is a cutaway with electronics.
The electronics switched in 2004 from a Fishman Prefix system to Taylor's own internally mounted Expression system.
