The 414ce Studio pairs solid Indian rosewood back and sides with a torrefied Sitka spruce top on the Grand Auditorium body, with V-Class bracing inside. Taylor describes a clear, detailed sound with chiming trebles, a strong low end and plenty of harmonic texture, plus some added warmth from roasting the spruce.
The Grand Auditorium shape adapts to most styles, and the 1-11/16" nut is a little narrower than the 1-3/4" on the Next Generation 400s, which keeps chord shapes compact. Expression System 2 covers the plugged-in sound, and it comes with a structured gig bag.
For the same body and woods with scalloped V-Class bracing, the Action Control Neck and Claria electronics, look at the Next Generation 414ce. The 314ce Studio is this guitar with sapele back and sides.
Natural shows the whole torrefied top. Shaded Edgeburst darkens it toward the edges. Both have ebony bridge pins, faux pearl dot inlays and a tortoise pickguard.
