About the guitar:
"The Taylor 414ce is a versatile, all-purpose acoustic-electric that delivers rich tone, refined playability, and stage-ready performance. With its Grand Auditorium body shape, the 414ce offers a well-balanced voice that works beautifully for strumming, fingerpicking, and everything in between. It’s a true workhorse guitar that handles a wide range of styles with ease.
This model features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with solid Indian rosewood back and sides—a tonewood combination known for its dynamic range, clear articulation, and warmth. The spruce adds brightness and responsiveness, while the rosewood provides depth, shimmering highs, and strong low-end presence. Taylor’s V-Class bracing enhances sustain and intonation, giving the guitar a more refined and musical response across the entire fretboard.
A tropical mahogany neck with a comfortable profile and an ebony fingerboard delivers smooth, effortless playability. Onboard ES2 electronics capture the guitar’s natural voice with clarity and balance when plugged in, making it an excellent choice for both live performance and studio recording. Subtle appointments like white binding, a tortoise-pattern pickguard, and Renaissance fretboard inlays add a clean, classic look."
About ES2:
"The Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in Taylor’s ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the ES2 is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed “professional audio”-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier, or direct into recording software, the ES2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar.
The ES2 also operates through a proprietary 9-volt battery compartment and easy-to-use volume and tone controls.
