Critic Reviews

Taylor 414ce review | Guitar World

guitarworld.com

The Taylor 414ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar is hailed as a versatile, high-end workhorse. Praised for its fast-playing neck and low action, it offers a smooth, electric-guitar-like feel. The solid Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back produce a rich, sustained tone, making it a top choice for both intermediate and professional musicians. Its Expression System 2 pickup is discreet yet versatile, although the lack of a built-in tuner may be a downside for some. Overall, it's an aesthetically pleasing, resonant guitar that performs brilliantly on stage.

Upgraded my Faith Saturn to a 2018 V class 414ce. Brought very nervously during lock down and slightly guilty of moving on from my trusty Faith. Fallen in love within 20mins, such a classy instrument. Improves you as a guitarist

Great Guitar!

This is my first all solid woods guitar and I love it! I took the elixers off to cut down the brightness and put some martins on it to mellow the tone just a bit. best guitar I've owned
