Taylor Custom 414ce Sunburst - Used
This is a stunning Taylor Custom 414ce, featuring a beautiful Sunburst finish that elevates the classic aesthetic of the 400 Series. The 414ce is built on Taylor’s versatile Grand Auditorium body shape, which is widely considered the ultimate all-purpose acoustic. While some iterations of the 400 series have used other woods in the past, this model features solid Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a solid Sitka spruce top. This classic combination delivers a deep, resonant low end and sparkling treble "hi-fi" sound that has been a professional standard for decades.
This particular guitar is in excellent condition, showing only the faintest signs of careful use. The "Custom" designation on this 414ce indicates a curated selection of premium tonewoods and aesthetic appointments that set it apart from standard production units, offering a more refined tonal palette and visual appeal. The playability is quintessential Taylor—low action, a comfortable neck profile, and a factory-perfect setup. It comes equipped with the Expression System 2 electronics, ensuring a natural and dynamic plugged-in tone for the stage or studio.
The V-Class bracing inside this 414ce provides enhanced volume, sustain, and nearly perfect intonation across the entire fretboard. It has been professionally inspected in our shop and is structurally perfect with no cracks, dings, or fret wear to note. If you are looking for a professional-grade workhorse with custom-shop aesthetics and the premium voice of solid rosewood, this Taylor is a premier choice.
Please note this instrument is very glossy and reflective, and so photos do show quite a bit of reflection of the background -- particularly in photos of the back. There are additional photos to show the grain that look cloudy, but the finish is fully clear.
