2026 Taylor 414ce Next Generation Natural
Blending a touch of tonal tradition with a suite of forward-thinking upgrades, the Taylor Next Generation 414ce reinvents an all-time Taylor classic with road-ready Claria electronics and bass-rich Scalloped V-Class bracing. This refreshed and revised acoustic-electric guitar begins with the traditional 414ce tonal combo of a sweet, responsive, and powerful Sitka spruce top and overtone-dense rosewood for the back and sides. However, Taylor’s Scalloped V-Class bracing imparts this Grand Auditorium with a healthy dose of X-brace-inspired charm in the form of a deeper low-end thump and a more responsive resonance — all while retaining the V-Class bracing’s signature balance and projection. As for acoustic-electric tones, Taylor’s Claria under-saddle pickup system provides plug-and-play performance with handy soundhole-mounted Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour controls. Finally, the 414ce’s ebony-capped mahogany Standard Carve neck comes equipped with Taylor’s trailblazing Action Control neck system that allows users to optimize the neck’s angle (and thus the action) while also boosting resonance. For decades, the Taylor 414ce has reigned as the top performer in the Taylor lineup, offering players the same premium tonewoods as the brand’s most esteemed offerings but in a more accessible package. The Taylor Next Generation 414ce continues that legacy in style, ushering in a whole new era of tone for one of America’s most treasured music makers.
