Taylor 414ce-R V-Class Bracing

The Taylor 414CE-R V-Class is a Grand Auditorium-type electroacoustic guitar, an original Taylor design introduced to the public in 1994 that combines the qualities of the Dreadnought and Grand Orchestra guitars. It has a powerful, dynamic, sound balanced across the full range of the frequency spectrum. It represents an ideal choice for players with a wide range of styles who like to switch between playing with a pick and finger technique.

The front of the guitar is made from carefully selected solid Sitka spruce, while the sides and back are made from solid Indian rosewood. Patented V-Class ribbing enhances the guitar's performance in three aspects - increasing the instrument's volume, extending sustain and improving intonation. The mahogany neck is joined by an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty frets, the positions marked by special mother-of-pearl markers in a Renaissance design.

The strings are mounted over a micarta saddle fret and a black graphite zero fret in an ebony headstock and company tuning machines. The visual impression is enhanced by the bright binding, decorative rosette, nickel hardware and imitation tortoiseshell pickguard, which also protects the guitar's lacquer from scratches.



The sound pickup is handled by the Taylor Expression System 2. This is a completely unique pickup method that pushes the possibilities of realistic sound reproduction to unprecedented dimensions. Three specially designed independent piezoelectric pickups located behind the fingerboard are used for pickups. Unlike conventional pickups, they don't sense the up and down movement of the board, but the natural back and forth vibration of the grasshopper seat. This makes the sound much more natural, colourful and pleasing, and more responsive to the dynamics of your playing. At the same time, the new preamp makes the signal 25% stronger. Of course, feedback is eliminated and you can adjust the volume, bass and treble.

The instrument comes with a luxurious Taylor case.

The Taylor 400 series belongs to the series of acoustic guitars that this world-famous manufacturer of luxury guitars produces in El Cajon, California. The most skilled professionals here build guitars that, with their precise workmanship, perfect sound and high-quality materials, will enchant any musician who knows what is hidden under the term "quality instrument".
