The Taylor Next Generation 714ce acoustic-electric guitar belongs firmly in the latter category, pairing refined craftsmanship with a Grand Auditorium body shape and a voice built for nuance and complexity. A Western red cedar top responds instantly to a light touch, while Indian rosewood back and sides add depth, shimmer and harmonic dimension. Enhanced by scalloped V-Class bracing with relief rout, the Next Generation 714ce delivers warmth in the low end without sacrificing articulation, making it a premium choice for players who value expressive control as much as projection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Taylor Next Generation 714ce pairs a Western red cedar top with Indian rosewood back and sides for a rich, responsive tonal palette. Cedar produces a soft attack and quick responsiveness, rewarding subtle dynamics and fingerstyle phrasing. Indian rosewood complements that sensitivity with deep, piano-like lows and clear, ringing highs, adding harmonic complexity across the tonal spectrum. Together, these tonewoods create a voice that feels expansive yet focused, capable of delivering intimate detail or bold strummed passages with equal authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaylor’s scalloped V-Class bracing refines the top’s vibration pattern to enhance sustain, pitch accuracy and projection. The added relief rout allows greater flexibility in the lower bout, unlocking richer low-end presence and more open-string resonance. This evolution of V-Class maintains the 714ce Next Generation's clarity while adding fullness, giving complex chords and melodic lines greater separation and dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Claria electronics system captures the acoustic character of the Next Generation 714ce with a redesigned undersaddle pickup and proprietary preamp that reduce piezo harshness. Soundhole-mounted controls, including the Mid-Contour knob, allow precise shaping of amplified tone without altering the guitar’s clean aesthetic. Whether performing solo or in a full ensemble mix, the system delivers consistent, detailed output that mirrors the guitar’s unplugged voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long-tenon Action Control neck enhances the neck-to-body connection for added warmth and sustain while enabling fast, accurate string-height adjustments. Players can refine setup without removing strings or detaching the neck, maintaining optimal playability in changing environments. Combined with Taylor’s standard profile and satin neck finish, the neck offers a confident, fluid feel suited to extended sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenuine West African ebony is used for the fingerboard and bridge, contributing clarity and durability. A gloss body finish highlights the cedar and rosewood grain, while green abalone accents and the Reflections inlay suite elevate the instrument’s visual presence. Gold tuning machines provide smooth, reliable stability, and a Taylor deluxe hardshell case protects the instrument during travel. With its expressive tone, modern playability and refined craftsmanship, the Taylor Next Generation 714ce acoustic-electric guitar is built for musicians who want an instrument that continues to reveal new depth the more it’s played.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Grand Auditorium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides Wood: Indian Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Wood: Western Red Cedar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Bracing: Scalloped V Class\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Wood: Neo-Tropical Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: Standard Carve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius: 15\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Inlay: Meridian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length Type: Standard-scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Black Tusq\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle Material: White Micarta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Material: Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Taylor Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: Taylor Claria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light, .012-.053\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Includes Taylor deluxe hardshell case\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModel# 714ce-Cedar","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59200387285073,"sku":"107385","price":3199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/8936\/5585\/files\/media_7eb4b240-4f08-4f13-b3ae-a8e9d816603d.jpg?v=1779940096","url":"https:\/\/www.musiciansbuy.com\/products\/taylor-714ce-cedar-top-indian-rosewood-acoustic-electric-guitar","provider":"MusiciansBuy.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
