{"product_id":"865003","title":"TAYLOR Next Generation 414ce #1203166005 Taylor","description":"Taylor Guitars Next Generation Series is born.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Approximately eight years after the birth of V-Class bracing, Taylor Guitars' \"Next Generation Series\" was completed after years of design verification and incorporating feedback from players around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At its core is the latest evolution of Scalloped V-Class bracing.\u003cbr\u003e While retaining the V-shaped structure that suppresses unwanted twisting of the top wood, the bracing is scalloped to bring out the body top's inherent vibrations in a more natural way, maximizing its potential.\u003cbr\u003e The lower register produces a warmer, deeper sound, and the open strings have a rich resonance with a sense of airiness. The V-class features, such as accurate pitch, directness of sound, and excellent projection that prevents the sound from getting lost in an ensemble, are also retained.\u003cbr\u003e With fingerstyle playing, you'll experience a three-dimensional, deep response, while with strumming, you'll feel a full core tone and clear projection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e One of the key features of this model is the newly developed Action Control Neck, which allows for simultaneous control of playability and sound.\u003cbr\u003e By employing a long tenon neck joint, the efficiency of vibration transmission with the body is enhanced, resulting in a warm tone and rich sustain.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, simply adjusting the bolt inside the soundhole allows for quick and precise string height adjustments, providing flexibility to adapt to changes in playing style, season, and environment without having to remove the neck or strings.\u003cbr\u003e This neck construction, unique to Taylor guitars, not only provides ease of playing but also directly impacts the attack and response of the sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The 414ce, a cost-effective model among USA-made Taylor guitars, has been further refined as a next-generation model, evolving in both sound and playability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The combination of solid Indian rosewood sides and back and a solid Sitka spruce top produces a clear tone with excellent transparency and resolution. The warmth of the bass, which is not overly boomy, and the crispness and projection of the treble are tones that can only be described as being unique to rosewood. The sides and back are also finished with a gloss coating, giving it a luxurious look.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Featuring Taylor's signature Grand Auditorium body, this model boasts a well-balanced frequency range from low to high. While the rosewood construction provides a sense of weight, it also delivers a full midrange and a rich, enveloping sound with abundant harmonics.\u003cbr\u003e With its versatile tone, suitable for both strumming and fingerpicking, it will be especially well-suited for accompanying vocals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, it is equipped with the newly developed Claria pickup system.\u003cbr\u003e This is Taylor's latest generation pickup system, developed with the concept of providing stable sound in all situations, from large hall stages to home playing environments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The redesigned under-saddle piezo pickup combined with a dedicated preamplifier reduces the harshness and edginess often associated with conventional piezo pickups, enabling a wide range of tonal possibilities, from warm, full bass to clear, well-defined sounds.\u003cbr\u003e It is less affected by the PA environment and volume levels, and maintains a natural sound image that always blends seamlessly into the mix, from solo performances to band ensembles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This system is easy to use not only on live stages but also during rehearsals, home recording sessions, and practice sessions at home, making it highly practical.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Taylor, a brand that never stops evolving, presents the ultimate form of next-generation acoustic guitar.\u003cbr\u003e Please experience its sound and playability for yourself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop: Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003e Back \u0026amp; Side: Solid Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e Neck: Neo-Tropical Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e Bracing: Scalloped V-Class Bracing with Relief Rout\u003cbr\u003e Binding: Black\u003cbr\u003e Fretboard: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e Headstock Overlay: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e Body Finish: Gloss \/ Gloss\u003cbr\u003e Nut \/ Saddle: Black Tusq \/ White Micarta\u003cbr\u003e Tuners: Taylor Nickel\u003cbr\u003e Electronics: Claria Pickup System\u003cbr\u003e Scale: 25 1\/2 (approximately 648mm)\u003cbr\u003e Neck Width: 1 3\/4 (approx. 44.5mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Brown Taylor Deluxe Hard Shell Case included","brand":"TAYLOR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43939634118769,"sku":"865003","price":3033.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/865003_01.jpg?v=1786171433","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/fr\/products\/865003","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
