The Next‐Gen Taylor 414ce brings Taylor’s classic rosewood Grand Auditorium voice into 2026 with more warmth, added midrange richness, and even greater live versatility. Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce deliver deep lows and sparkling highs, while the updated voicing helps chords bloom with a fuller, more satisfying body.
Three next‐generation upgrades sit at the heart of the redesign: the long‐tenon Action Control Neck™, scalloped V‐Class™ bracing, and the all‐new Claria System electronics. The Action Control Neck™ strengthens the neck joint for added depth and allows quick, precise action changes without removing strings or the neck. Scalloped V‐Class™ bracing brings a warmer low end and richer open‐string resonance, while Claria delivers smooth, consistent amplified tone with easy soundhole controls for fast tweaks on stage.
Updated 2026 appointments include Weathervane inlays, black binding, and a white rosette with black and white purfling. Identify this model as Next Generation to distinguish it from previous‐spec 414ce versions.
