The 414ce-R 6-string acoustic-electric is one of Taylor's most affordable guitars built with solid Indian rosewood back and sides. Indian rosewood - considered by Bob Taylor to be one of the greatest tonewoods of all time - effortlessly adds depth to your low frequencies, sparkle to your high end, and a bit of a midrange scoop that aids in note definition.

Traditionally, acoustic-electric guitars have employed piezo transducers under their bridge saddles. But Taylor's Expression System 2 is different. It uses a proprietary pickup behind the saddle. The pickup features three individually calibrated, precisely positioned piezo-electric sensors that respond organically to the instrument's acoustic energy as it's transferred through the saddle. In concert with Taylor's custom-designed, studio-grade preamp, the result is a natural acoustic sound with incredible dynamic range and responsiveness to your pick or finger attack. The Expression System 2 is definitely a favorite around Sweetwater.

You'll find Taylor Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitars on thousands of stages around the world. The 414ce-R boasts this body style to offer the sonic punch and incredible comfort that has made the design so popular. The guitar is effortless to perform with due to its tighter waist and narrower shoulder dimensions. And the guitar still provides the deep bass and strong projection of acoustic guitars that are much larger. If you're looking for a plug-and-play acoustic-electric guitar for your performances, check out this 414ce-R.
