The instruments from the Taylor 400 series come including case
Very balanced sound
The Taylor 414ce Tobacco Sunburst acoustic guitar produces a very balanced sound thanks to its mid-sized construction and perfectly matched tonewoods. This spreads quickly and over a wide area even with light strumming, which is due in no small part to the V-shaped bracing of the top and the gauzy high-gloss finish. In addition, the flat neck in combination with the generous cutaway guarantees optimized access to all 20 frets. At the same time, perfectly dressed hardware ensures clean intonation over the entire 648 mm scale length. In-house tuners are inserted into the characteristic headstock, which allows precise tuning and at the same time guarantees high tuning stability. With the help of the built-in pickup system, the acoustic sound can also be amplified without any problems, so that the guitar is ready for any occasion. Visually, the instrument is rounded off by filigree inlays, which create a decidedly harmonious overall appearance. The scope of delivery also includes a sturdy case.
The fully solid construction is made of Sitka spruce and Indian rosewood
The individual parts of the body are bordered with white bindings
Structure and woods
To produce brilliant highs, the solid top is made of finest Sitka spruce. The solid rosewood body also adds crisp bass frequencies to the sound, allowing the instrument to easily assert itself in both strumming and Pickings. In addition, the V-Class bracing ensures a two-dimensional vibration behaviour of the top, which results in each note decaying very long-lasting in the overtones. Meanwhile, a flat mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard ensures comfortable playability, which can be operated very obligingly up to the highest frets.
Taylor Quality Guitars since 1974
Hardware and design
The compensated saddle made of Micarta and the 44.45 mm wide nut made of Black Tusq ensures a clean sound development of the complete tonal range. In addition, the Grand Auditorium is equipped with nickel-plated tuners, with which the strings can be tuned very easily. Finialinlaysof the fingerboard not only provide good orientation but are also extremely decorative. The soundhole, which is adorned with a single-ring soundhole rosette, is joined by a large tortoise pickguard, while the body is surrounded by a contrasting white binding.
The innovative Expression System 2
Electronics
Taylor's proprietary Expression System 2 takes sound directly from each pair of strings via three piezo elements in the bridge. This allows the natural sound of the 414ce to be passed directly to the amplifier, resulting in no loss of tone. The side preamp has three controls that can be used to individually adjust the treble as well as bass frequencies and volume. Right next to the jack is the battery compartment of the 9V block battery that powers the active system.
Taylor - The epitome of fine quality
As one of the largest guitar manufacturers, Taylor is truly an authority in the production of first-class instruments. Thus, professional manufacturing by skilled craftsmen results in the very finest products for life, whose value is always maintained - or even increased! This is due in equal part to exquisite tonewoods, which do not warp due to long storage and selected quality and as a result can hardly be surpassed in terms of high quality. Only spruce, mahogany, cedar or Koa of proven quality are used for the tops. By the way, careful production in combination with the best materials does not only apply to guitars. Guitar bags and all accessories are also of first-class quality. Finally, a conscientious final inspection does not let even the smallest defects pass and ensures absolutely flawless guitars even before shipment.
And that's not all: Taylor also attaches great importance to environmentally conscious actions.
Ebony & Koa: Sustainability at Taylor Guitars
Uncontrolled clearing of forests and overexploitation lead to massively endangered wood species, which can no longer regenerate due to the high pace of mining. These include ebony and koa in particular, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at Taylor Guitars.
Sustainable ebony cultivation in Cameroon
Because ebony's hard, supple texture makes it particularly finger-friendly, it has long been the preferred choice for making fingerboards. Its attractive appearance is also extremely popular for bridges, headstock rests, bridge Pins and Bindings. However, high demand and a thriving black market outstripped stocks, landing Ebony on the Red List of Endangered Species in 1994. Moreover, only the deep black heartwood, which makes up only a fraction of the tree, was used, resulting in a disproportionately large amount of waste in production. In order to protect the forests, Taylor has therefore been working since 2011 with the Crelicam Wood Mill in Yaoundé in Cameroon to promote controlled consumption by processing waste products. Thus, not only black ebony elements are found in Taylor guitars, but also the different coloured, more clearly-grained parts of the tree. This complete recycling is an effective method of preserving stocks and successfully counteracts their dramatic decline and the negative ecological effects that accompany it.
"We need to use the ebony that the forest gives us" - Bob Taylor

Siglo Tonewoods Project
Koa acacia populations have also suffered severe losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry as well as overexploitation led to a decline that can only be stopped by proactive action and reforestation. Therefore, Taylor Guitars together with Pacific Rim Tonewoods founded the Siglo Tonewoods project, which aims to rebuild the Hawaiian virgin forest. This is a large cultivation area for koa acacia and other species, which allows the use of koa wood on a controlled scale.
