Taylor Next Generation 714ce

The classic cedar/rosewood tonewood coupling returns to our standard lineup with the Next Generation 714ce, serving up warm, textured tone in a versatile package. This all-purpose Grand Auditorium features back and sides of Indian rosewood paired with a Western Red cedar top, with our scalloped V-Class bracing inside to dial up more volume, sustain and open-string resonance. Together with the long-tenon Action Control Neck, the result is a lush, warm, touch-sensitive response with clear trebles, throaty lows and a mellow, round character across the frequency spectrum, all tied together with a blooming overtone profile. Players will appreciate the simple adjustability of the innovative neck joint, while our new Claria electronics make it remarkably easy to plug in and produce rich, adaptable amplified tone for live settings. The Next Generation 714ce sports crisp white body binding, a green abalone rosette with black and white accents, a Reflections inlay suite in green abalone, gold tuning machines, a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, and a full-body natural gloss finish.
