Product information

Studio-ready and stage-proven, the Claria System delivers natural amplified tone with intuitive midrange control right at your fingertips.

Newly redesigned for 2026, the Taylor 414CE Next Generation adds Scalloped V-Class bracing, a completely redesigned pickup, and the Action Control Neck to their flagship model.

The brand new Taylor designed Claria pickup relocates the controls to just inside the sound hole. The pickup sounds great and its low profile aesthetic is elegant and easy to use. The Action Control Neck allows for easy adjustment of the neck angle that allows for simple, easily performed, adjustments.

The 414ce has long been a trusted choice for players who need one guitar that can handle just about anything. The Grand Auditorium body strikes a perfect balance - comfortable in your hands, adaptable across styles, and equally at home on stage or in the living room.

With Sitka spruce and rosewood, you get warm, supportive lows, clear highs, and a slightly scooped midrange that keeps things open and dynamic. It’s a voice that records beautifully and sits naturally in a mix, while still feeling rich and inspiring on its own.
