With the Next Generation 714ce, Taylor brings the cedar-over-rosewood pairing back to its standard line: a Western Red cedar top on Indian rosewood back and sides, Grand Auditorium body, scalloped V-Class bracing and the long-tenon Action Control Neck. Taylor describes a warm, round, touch-sensitive voice with clear trebles, deep lows and overtones that bloom around each note.
The neck joint keeps string height simple to adjust, and the Claria Acoustic Pickup System handles amplified sound for live work. It is dressed in white binding, a green abalone rosette with black and white accents, green abalone Reflections inlays, gold tuners and a tortoise pickguard, with natural gloss over the whole body.
For the same woods on the compact Grand Concert body, look at the Next Generation 712ce. For cedar over mahogany on this body, the Next Generation 514ce, and for Sitka spruce over Indian rosewood, the Next Generation 814ce.
