Taylor 414ce Studio – Shaded Edgeburst
This guitar is in great shape with minimal blemishes to note. Light superficial surface scratches may be present but do not show up in photos. There are two small blemishes on the lower top under the bridge and one small scuff on the lower back of the body. Electronics work as expected and sound great. Includes the original Taylor premium soft-shell case.
The Taylor 414ce Studio is a great combination of Taylor’s familiar Grand Auditorium design and some carefully chosen upgrades that give it a slightly different voice from a standard 414ce. The big change is the torrefied spruce top, which gives the guitar a warmer, more broken-in character while retaining the clarity, punch, and projection Taylor is known for.
The solid rosewood back and sides add warmth, depth, and sustain, while the torrefied spruce top keeps the overall response articulate and balanced. It has the kind of versatility that makes the Grand Auditorium such a popular choice—comfortable for fingerstyle playing, but with enough volume and low-end authority for strumming and full-band work.
Taylor’s V-Class bracing is another major part of the 414ce’s sound. The design allows the top to remain responsive while providing greater stiffness along the strings, helping produce strong projection, longer sustain, and improved intonation. The result is a guitar that responds evenly across the fretboard and has a very cohesive, musical quality when playing chords.
The neck has a comfortable, familiar Taylor feel, with a neo-tropical mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard. The 414ce Studio also features Taylor’s ES2 electronics, which do a particularly good job of retaining the natural character of the guitar when amplified. Volume, bass, and treble controls provide straightforward adjustments for stage use.
