The 414ce Next Generation is an all-solid-wood, U.S.-built model that is part of the entry way into the higher end models Taylor offers. Refinements for 2026 make this amazing-value instrument more compelling than ever. The guitar starts with all-solid woods consisting of Indian Rosewood for the back and sides, and Sitka Spruce for the top. This classic tonewood combination gives the player plenty of bass and top end response with a nice, scooped out midrange. The Grand Auditorium body shape is the most versatile body shape in the line up for Taylor. Whether you're a fingerstyle player or strummer, the Grand Auditorium body shape covers the most ground. Introduced to this model for 2026 are three major, game changing innovations.

Action Control Neck. A long-tenon neck joint design that not only improves tone and sustain but allows a qualified technician to adjust the neck angle in seconds with the strings still on and the guitar under tension. The result? The ability to set up the guitar for individual playing styles like never before.

Scalloped V Class Bracing. With changes to the internal architecture, the guitar now brings more low end and bloom to the table while embracing all sustain and intonation benefits of the original V Class bracing system.

And finally, Claria pick up system, a revolutionary active pick up system that redefines acoustic amplified tone with a proprietary high definition, active high fidelity pre amp and under the saddle pick up system. Simply… read more put, the most plug and play pick up system with volume, tone, and contour shaping soundhole controls to achieve the ultimate amplified acoustic sound. The Next Generation 414ce also features an all-gloss finish on the body, weathervane fretboard and peghead inlays, venetian cutaway, firestripe pickguard, and ships in a deluxe hard shell case.
