Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A Natural-finish 414ce Studio gives players a Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric built with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, and V-Class bracing. The body is described as balanced and articulate with ample volume, serving both fingerpicking and strumming. Taylor’s Expression System 2 provides the amplified output through three calibrated sensors, while volume, bass, and treble controls are onboard for adjustment. The right-handed six-string also features a Venetian cutaway, genuine West African ebony fingerboard and bridge, and a Taylor Tan Structured Gig Bag.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording or stage amplification where onboard volume, bass, and treble adjustment is useful.
- Solo or ensemble arrangements requiring a balanced Grand Auditorium response with ample volume.
- Alternating between fingerpicked material and powerful strumming without changing acoustic-electric guitars.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this model is specified as right handed.
