Typically reserved for our highest-end guitars, the rosewood/redwood tonewood pairing joins our family 400 Series guitars for the first time in the 50th Anniversary 414ce Special Edition. Solid Indian rosewood back and sides and a sinker redwood top in a cutaway Grand Auditorium body serve up a blend of rich lows, sparkling chime-like trebles and lush overtones. Sourced from old growth logs submerged for decades in Northern California riverbeds, sinker redwood offers cedar-like warmth and remarkable touch sensitivity. Tone-enhancing V-Class bracing dials up extra volume and sustain while keeping notes more in tune with each other all the way up the neck. The fretboard and peghead are inlaid with an elegant Engraved Victorian design. Grained ivoroid binding on the gloss-finished body offers a stark visual contrast to its tobacco Shaded Edgeburst top treatment and firestripe faux-tortoise pickguard. Like other 50th Anniversary guitars, this model boasts gold tuners and gold-dotted ebony bridge pins. It’s outfitted with an onboard ES2 pickup and ships in a deluxe hard shell case.
Features
All-Purpose Tone, Elegantly Appointed
This versatile special-edition Grand Auditorium guitar delivers rich, balanced sound complemented by beautiful visual aesthetics.
Grand Auditorium
Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.
Indian Rosewood
The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.
Sinker Redwood
Tight grain structure and cross-grain stiffness produce a bold and brilliant response with warm overtones. Think cedar on steroids.
Expression System 2
The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
V-Class Bracing
Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
Includes deluxe hardshell case
