Iconic Rosewood Warmth Meets Studio-Grade Performance
The Taylor 414ce Studio SEB blends premium tonewoods, advanced construction, and Taylor’s legendary playability into a refined Grand Auditorium design. With solid Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, this acoustic-electric guitar delivers lush overtones, shimmering highs, and rich, full-bodied lows with exceptional projection and balance. The torrefied top adds a warm, aged-in sweetness right out of the case, while the V-Class bracing enhances volume, sustain, and harmonic accuracy across the fretboard.
Designed for the stage, studio, or home, the 414ce Studio SEB features a slender, easy-playing neck, Expression System® 2 electronics, and a Venetian cutaway for effortless access to upper registers. The shaded edgeburst top and full-gloss finish lend a sophisticated, stage-ready aesthetic that complements its refined tonal character.
This model includes a structured gig bag, ensuring your guitar is protected wherever inspiration strikes.
