Taylor Next Generation Special Edition 414ce Studio Grand Auditorium Torrefied Sitka Spruce/Rosewood Honeyburst ES2

Featuring a rich Honey Sunburst finish that mirrors its lush, textured voice, the 414ce Studio Special Edition Honeyburst offers a compelling musical experience for players of all styles. This versatile Grand Auditorium boasts a solid top of torrefied spruce that generates bold projection and played-in warmth to complement the blooming overtone character of its Indian rosewood back and sides, adding up to a sophisticated tone with crisp trebles and rumbling lows. Inside, our V-Class bracing enhances the response with more volume and sustain, all translated faithfully in plugged-in scenarios by the included ES2 electronics. Chamfered body edges and a slim Taylor neck make for a supremely comfortable feel, while a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, nickel tuning machines, and a full-body gloss finish accent the unique top color.
