The Taylor Next Generation 714ce represents a thoughtful evolution of a beloved classic, blending tradition with forward-thinking design under the vision of Bob Taylor and master builder Andy Powers. Every detail of this instrument reflects a refined approach to tone, comfort, and modern performance.
At its heart, a Western Red Cedar top delivers a warm, responsive voice with remarkable sensitivity to touch. Paired with Indian Rosewood back and sides, the result is a rich, enveloping tonal palette, deep low end, complex overtones, and a smooth, articulate high register that blooms effortlessly whether played fingerstyle or with a light strum.
Central to this guitar’s voice is Taylor’s innovative scalloped V-Class bracing, a reimagined internal architecture that enhances sustain, improves intonation, and increases overall harmonic consistency across the fretboard. It gives the 714ce a more dynamic, expressive character while maintaining clarity and balance in every note.
The Venetian cutaway offers seamless access to the upper frets, while the Neo-Tropical mahogany neck, carved for comfort and finished in satin, provides a smooth, natural feel in the hand. The West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard and bridge add a sense of precision and durability, complemented by elegant green abalone Reflections inlays and a matching headstock motif that give the instrument a refined, contemporary aesthetic.
Visually, the guitar strikes a perfect balance between understated and luxurious. A gloss body finish highlights the natural beauty of the tonewoods, framed by crisp white binding and a green abalone single-ring rosette that subtly catches the light.
One of the most exciting advancements in this next-generation model is Taylor’s new Claria acoustic pickup system. Designed to capture the guitar’s full tonal personality with remarkable fidelity, it delivers a more natural, open amplified sound with enhanced dynamic range, making it equally at home on stage or in the studio.
With a 25-1/2" scale length and 1-3/4" nut width, the 714ce offers a familiar yet refined playing experience, and at just 4 lb 10 oz, it feels effortlessly alive in your hands.
This is more than an update, it’s a redefinition. The Next Generation 714ce carries Taylor’s legacy forward with clarity, innovation, and a deep respect for the art of acoustic guitar building.
