Taylor 714ce Next Generation Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Taylor Next Generation 714ce marks the return of a legendary tonewood pairing to the standard lineup, blending the classic warmth of Western Red Cedar with the rich complexity of Indian Rosewood. This Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric is designed for players who value responsiveness and a lush, textured sound.

Key Features and Tone

The 714ce is built around a solid Western Red Cedar top, known for its touch-sensitivity and mellow, rounded character. When paired with Indian Rosewood back and sides, the guitar produces deep, throaty lows and clear, sparkling trebles with a blooming overtone profile. Inside, Taylor’s scalloped V-Class bracing enhances volume and sustain while ensuring perfect intonation across the entire fretboard.

Innovation and Playability

At the heart of this "Next Gen" model is the Action Control Neck. This long-tenon joint adds noticeable warmth and depth to the guitar's voice while featuring a patented system that allows for effortless string height adjustment. Whether you prefer a light touch for fingerstyle or a bit more resistance for heavy strumming, this neck is designed to be perfectly tailored to your playing style.

Modern Electronics

The 714ce introduces the Claria Acoustic Pickup System. This innovative electronics suite is designed to capture the guitar's natural acoustic character with remarkable accuracy, making it easier than ever to dial in a rich, adaptable amplified tone for the stage or the studio.
