Taylor 414ce Studio - Natural  

The 400 Series

The 400 series contains utilitarian guitars for different purposes. The series includes several different models with solid Indian rosewood back and sides and solid spruce tops. This is an amazing combination of tonewoods as it produces warm low-end and clear trebles. The mid-tones are more neutral which makes the guitar very suitable to sing along with. The guitars have V-Class bracing, which means that the volume is louder and that it has a longer sustain.

The 414ce Studio

The 414ce Studio is a great guitar. The body has a torrefied spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides. This produces a warm and balanced sound. By torrefying the wood all the volatile elements of the wood get burned away, resulting in a stronger piece of wood and better resonance. The guitar has a mahogany neck and an ebony fretboard. The guitar has a Grand Auditorium body, which was designed by Taylor in 1994 and is their most popular model. The Grand Auditorium is a bit smaller than the Dreadnought and a bit bigger than the Grand Concert. This also makes it more versatile, as the Dreadnought was designed for rhythm guitar and the Grand Concert for fingerpicking. The Grand Auditorium is a combination of both. The guitar has ES2 electronics so the amplified sound will sound authentic.

Taylor

Taylor is an American company that was founded in 1974 when two boys bought an old hippie guitar shop. The boys were very passionate about guitars and put a lot of energy into the shop. Eventually, the shop evolved into an international company. All Taylor guitars today are made in either El Cajon in California or Tecate in Mexico. Taylor is very proud of this, because guitars that are produced close to headquarters go through a more thorough quality control process and employee satisfaction is better regulated. Taylor prioritises tone and comfort. All guitars are perfected and with modern luthier techniques the guitars can be made with more precision and consistency.
