Taylor Next Generation 714ce – Western Red Cedar / Indian Rosewood – S/N 6082! Guitar comes with a Brown Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Case!

The Taylor Next Generation 714ce brings one of acoustic guitar building’s most expressive tonewood pairings back into Taylor’s standard lineup: Western Red Cedar over Indian Rosewood.

That combination has long been prized for warmth, responsiveness and harmonic richness, and here Taylor pairs it with some of its newest structural and performance-focused innovations. Scalloped V-Class bracing with Relief Rout, the long-tenon Action Control Neck and the new Claria Acoustic Pickup System give the 714ce a thoroughly modern foundation while preserving the lush, touch-sensitive character that makes cedar and rosewood so compelling.

The result is a Grand Auditorium with a warm, rounded voice, blooming overtones, clear trebles and rich low-end depth—an instrument that responds beautifully to nuance and rewards players with an expressive touch.

Serial number 6082 comes complete with a Brown Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Case.

As the only independently owned Authorized Taylor Guitars dealer within a 100-mile radius, Northeast Music Center is proud to offer this next-generation 714ce.

CEDAR AND ROSEWOOD – A CLASSIC PAIRING RETURNS

Some tonewood combinations are popular because they are versatile.

Others are loved because they are expressive.

Western Red Cedar and Indian Rosewood manage to be both.

Cedar is known for its immediacy and sensitivity. It responds quickly to a lighter touch and brings a naturally warm, textured character to the front of the note.

Rosewood contributes depth, complexity and a broader overtone profile, creating strong low-end support and sparkling high-frequency detail.

Together, they create a guitar that can feel remarkably alive under the hands.

This is not a combination that asks the player to dig in aggressively before the instrument begins responding.

It rewards nuance.

WESTERN RED CEDAR – BUILT FOR EXPRESSION

The Western Red Cedar top is the defining voice of this 714ce.

Compared with many spruce-topped acoustics, cedar tends to respond more immediately to the player.

That makes it particularly appealing for fingerstyle, singer-songwriter work and any playing style where dynamics matter.

A lighter attack can still produce color and dimension.

Notes bloom quickly.

Chords develop warmth without needing to be driven hard.

That does not mean the guitar is limited to gentle playing.

It means the instrument gives you more information sooner.

For the player who controls dynamics with the hands rather than simply relying on volume, cedar can be incredibly rewarding.

INDIAN ROSEWOOD – DEPTH, SPACE AND OVERTONES

Indian Rosewood provides the other half of the equation.

It has long been regarded as one of the benchmark back-and-side woods for premium acoustic guitars because of its ability to create depth without sacrificing clarity.

The lows can feel substantial.

The highs remain articulate.

And the harmonic content around the fundamental note gives the guitar a sense of size that can be both powerful and refined.

Paired with cedar, the result is not harsh or overly bright.

It is broad.

Warm.

Dimensional.

And expressive.

GRAND AUDITORIUM – TAYLOR’S ALL-PURPOSE PLATFORM

The Grand Auditorium body shape makes this tonewood pairing even more useful.

Taylor’s signature shape sits in a particularly versatile part of the acoustic spectrum.

It has enough body to produce satisfying bass and projection, but it remains responsive enough for detailed fingerstyle work.

That balance allows the 714ce to move between roles naturally.

Fingerstyle guitar.

Songwriting instrument.

Studio acoustic.

Stage guitar.

Vocal accompaniment.

Dynamic flatpicking.

It doesn’t force the player into one lane.

SCALLOPED V-CLASS WITH RELIEF ROUT

Inside the guitar is Taylor’s Scalloped V-Class bracing with Relief Rout.

Taylor’s V-Class architecture was developed to improve the relationship between volume, sustain and intonation, while this newer scalloped implementation further refines the way the top responds.

That matters with cedar and rosewood because these woods already create substantial harmonic information.

The bracing helps give that complexity structure.

Instead of simply producing more sound, the goal is to create a voice that remains organized and musical across the fretboard.

Open strings can resonate more freely.

Sustained notes can develop naturally.

And complex chords retain better separation.

ACTION CONTROL NECK

One of the biggest advances on the Next Generation 714ce is the Action Control Neck.

Taylor pairs a long-tenon neck joint with a patented adjustment system designed to make string-height changes much easier.

That has a direct benefit for the player.

Acoustic guitars are affected by humidity, temperature, string tension and personal preference.

Action that feels perfect today may need adjustment later.

Being able to fine-tune string height more easily gives the instrument greater flexibility over time.

The long-tenon design also creates a more substantial neck-to-body connection, contributing additional warmth and depth to the guitar’s overall response.

For a serious long-term instrument, that is a meaningful improvement.

A FAMILIAR TAYLOR NECK FEEL

The neck is built from Neo-Tropical Mahogany with a West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard.

Taylor’s Standard Carve, 1-3/4" nut width and 25.5" scale length preserve the familiar playing dimensions many Taylor players already know.

The neck is finished in satin, helping the back of the neck remain smooth and comfortable.

The fretboard carries a 15-inch radius, giving the player a clean, modern playing surface that works equally well for chordal work and more technical playing.

The goal is simple.

The neck should not distract you from the sound.

NATURAL GLOSS – LET THE WOODS SPEAK

Visually, this 714ce is intentionally elegant.

The body wears a Natural Gloss finish, allowing the cedar and rosewood to remain the focal point.

The white body binding creates clean definition around the body.

A green abalone single-ring rosette adds a refined visual accent, while the Reflections inlay suite in green abalone gives the fretboard a premium identity without overwhelming it.

The faux-tortoiseshell pickguard adds just enough warmth to tie the design together.

This is a high-end guitar that doesn’t need to shout.

GOLD HARDWARE

The hardware adds another layer of refinement.

Taylor Gold tuners with Gold buttons provide a warmer visual contrast against the natural woods and dark ebony headstock veneer.

The bridge is built from West African Crelicam Ebony, while the nut is Black TUSQ and the saddle is White Micarta.

The overall presentation feels cohesive and upscale without becoming excessive.

CLARIA ACOUSTIC PICKUP SYSTEM

For amplified performance, the Next Generation 714ce uses Taylor’s Claria Acoustic Pickup System.

Claria gives the player a more adaptable approach to plugged-in tone, making it easier to shape the guitar for different rooms, stages and PA systems.

That versatility is especially useful on a cedar-and-rosewood guitar.

These woods naturally produce a rich and complex acoustic voice, so having practical control over the amplified signal helps preserve the character of the instrument while fitting it into a live mix.

For the performing musician, this turns the 714ce from a beautiful acoustic guitar into a fully capable stage instrument.

VENETIAN CUTAWAY

The Venetian cutaway provides comfortable upper-fret access while maintaining the smooth, rounded lines associated with Taylor’s Grand Auditorium shape.

It is practical without visually dominating the guitar.

That matters on an instrument whose identity is built around balance.

Nothing feels excessive.

Nothing feels out of place.

A GUITAR THAT REWARDS A LIGHTER TOUCH

This is where the 714ce really distinguishes itself.

Some guitars are designed to come alive only when pushed.

This one responds before you ever get there.

The Western Red Cedar top gives the player a strong sense of immediacy.

The Indian Rosewood provides depth.

The Grand Auditorium balances the spectrum.

The V-Class architecture helps organize the response.

And the result is a guitar that can feel especially rewarding to players who work with nuance, dynamics and touch.

That makes it a superb choice for the guitarist who wants expression rather than sheer force.
