This guitar is a commission sale. If you have a high-end or vintage guitar you are interested in selling please contact us.
Here for sale we have a Taylor 414CE in Natural finish. Made in the USA in 2000, this guitar features a bolt-on construction consisting of a grand auditorium cutaway Ovangkol body with Spruce top, Mahogany neck and 20 fret Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include an Ebony bridge, Grover tuning machines and pearloid dot inlays. A Taylor Fishman Prefix preamp is fitted and wired to a under saddle piezo pickup.
The Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the ‘Standard Carve’ profile that provides ergonomic thumb positioning up and down the neck. The Venetian cutaway allows for easy access to the higher frets. The satin finish to the rear has been polished to a gloss which makes for fluid hand movements across the whole register. The Ebony fingerboard feels luxurious to the touch, and with Taylor's usual 15" radius providing a flat and consistent surface to navigate on.
The acoustic voice of the Taylor 414ce is bright and clear, with an unpronounced yet accurate low end, strong mid response and sparkling trebles which add a shimmer and chime to every note played on the instrument. Ovangkol produces harmonically rich tones similar to Rosewood. The Grand Auditorium body design delivers the best of both large and compact bodies; sizable enough to produce a powerful and clear voice whilst remaining small enough to be comfortable in the arms. The Spruce top projects beautifully and offers a wide dynamic range, whilst producing a warmer & more refined tone than a typical un-aged Spruce top. The Fishman Prefix faithfully conveys the acoustic voice of the instrument, providing the versatility required for both live and recording situations.
