The Taylor Next Generation 614ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic Electric in Antique Blond w/Deluxe Hardshell Case combines the expressive character of figured Big Leaf maple with a torrefied Sitka spruce top and Taylor's latest performance-focused innovations. Scalloped V-Class Bracing with Relief Rout enhances volume, sustain and open-string richness, while the Action Control Neck provides easy micro-adjustability for a personalized playing feel. Taylor's Claria Acoustic Pickup System delivers clear, adaptable amplified tone, making the 614ce equally at home on stage, in the studio or played acoustically.

Features

The torrefied Sitka spruce top delivers rich projection and clarity with added warmth and sweetness from Taylor's roasting process. Beautifully figured Big Leaf maple back and sides provide an expressive, articulate voice that responds clearly to the player's individual touch.

Taylor's Grand Auditorium body shape offers a comfortable, versatile platform with a clear and balanced tonal response suited to both fingerstyle playing and strumming. The Venetian cutaway provides smooth access to the upper register while preserving the Grand Auditorium's familiar proportions.

Scalloped V-Class Bracing with Relief Rout is designed to increase volume, sustain and open-string richness while maintaining strong note definition. Combined with the torrefied spruce top and maple body, it gives the Next Generation 614ce a bold, responsive voice with excellent clarity.

The Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon neck joint with Taylor's adjustable neck system, allowing precise string-height adjustments without traditional neck-reset procedures. The Neo-Tropical mahogany neck features a Standard Carve profile, satin finish, 25-1/2 inch scale and 1-3/4 inch nut width for comfortable, familiar Taylor playability.

The West African Crelicam ebony fretboard is appointed with distinctive Wings inlays in green abalone. Matching green abalone details appear on the peghead and single-ring rosette, while faux tortoise body binding and a matching tortoise pickguard complement the glossy Antique Blond finish.

Taylor's Claria Acoustic Pickup System uses a redesigned piezo pickup with intuitive soundhole-mounted controls, providing clear and versatile amplified acoustic tone for live performance and recording.

Premium appointments include a West African Crelicam ebony bridge, black TUSQ nut, white Micarta saddle, ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots and Taylor nickel tuning machines. A protective Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Case is included for secure storage and transportation.
