414ce Studio Special Edition Honeyburst
Featuring a rich Honey Sunburst finish that mirrors its lush, textured voice, the 414ce Studio Special Edition Honeyburst offers a compelling musical experience for players of all styles. This versatile Grand Auditorium boasts a solid top of torrefied spruce that generates bold projection and played-in warmth to complement the blooming overtone character of its Indian rosewood back and sides, adding up to a sophisticated tone with crisp trebles and rumbling lows. Inside, Taylor's V-Class bracing enhances the response with more volume and sustain, all translated faithfully in plugged-in scenarios by the included ES2 electronics. Chamfered body edges and a slim Taylor neck make for a supremely comfortable feel, while a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, nickel tuning machines, and a full-body gloss finish accent the unique top color.
Features
Grand Auditorium Body Shape: Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.
Indian Rosewood Back & Sides: The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.
Sitka Spruce Top: The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
Expression System 2 Electronics: The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Venetian Cutaway: The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
V-Class Bracing: Taylor's patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
