Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor’s 414ce Studio combines a Grand Auditorium body with a torrefied Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides. V-Class bracing is used to increase volume, sustain, and projection while retaining clarity and articulation. For amplified work, the Expression System 2 uses three individually calibrated pickup sensors, with onboard volume, bass, and treble controls. The right-handed, six-string guitar has a Venetian cutaway, genuine West African ebony fingerboard and bridge, and arrives with a Taylor Tan Structured Gig Bag in Tobacco Shaded Edge Burst.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Solo performances and ensemble playing that benefit from the Grand Auditorium body’s balanced, articulate response.
- Stage performances or studio recording using Expression System 2 electronics and onboard tone controls.
- Switching between delicate fingerpicking and stronger strumming on a single acoustic-electric guitar.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this model is specified as right handed.
