TAYLOR 414CE-N GRAND AUDITORIUM NYLON-STRING ACOUSTIC-ELECTRIC GUITAR

A Unique Sound That Transforms Your Music

One of the most alluring traits of a nylon-string guitar, such as the Taylor 414ce-N Grand Auditorium Nylon-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar, is how its tone can instantly change the character of any song. Whether you’re recording, performing, or songwriting, a nylon string offers a fresh, rhythmic texture that’s hard to match.

This model provides the signature nylon warmth, combined with the exceptional playability Taylor is renowned for. Its neck features a sleek, crossover-friendly profile, a 1-7/8″ nut width, and a gentle 20″ fingerboard radius for smooth transitions—ideal for players used to steel-string guitars.

Additionally, the all-gloss body brings out the beautiful color depth of the rosewood back and sides. With this instrument in your collection, you may find yourself reaching for it more often than expected. It also ships in a deluxe Taylor hardshell case for optimal fit and protection.

Grand Auditorium Body Shape

Taylor’s original Grand Auditorium design is highly versatile. It responds well to light fingerpicking and delivers balanced clarity for medium strumming or flatpicking. If you’re looking for a reliable all-purpose guitar, this body style is a great choice.

Premium Tonewoods

The Sitka spruce top plays a crucial role in shaping the guitar’s dynamic sound. Known for its balance of stiffness and elasticity, it ensures both power and precision. Paired with ovangkol back and sides—an African tonewood similar to rosewood—you get rich lows, crisp highs, and a fuller midrange with bright, koa-like treble.

Custom-Voiced Electronics

The Taylor 414ce-N Grand Auditorium Nylon-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar comes equipped with Taylor’s ES-N electronics. This system features a single under-saddle transducer and custom preamp, tailored specifically to enhance the nylon-string sound. With simple Volume, Treble, and Bass controls, you can shape your tone without compromising the guitar’s clean aesthetic.

What makes Taylor guitars stand out? Each one is crafted with unmatched build quality, industry-leading neck stability, and a wide range of tonal options. Taylor also commits to using responsibly sourced, eco-conscious materials, so you can feel good about your sound and its impact.
