Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The left-handed Next Generation 414ce combines a solid Sitka spruce top with Indian rosewood back and sides in Taylor’s Grand Auditorium body shape. Scalloped V-Class bracing is designed to add bass response and sustain while retaining clarity. Claria electronics place amplified controls at the soundhole, including a Mid-Contour knob. The long-tenon Action Control neck allows string-height adjustment without removing the neck or loosening the strings, and the guitar arrives with a hardshell case.
