{"product_id":"taylor-714ce-grand-auditorium-acoustic-electric-6037","title":"Taylor 714ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric #6037","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Taylor 714ce Next Generation pairs a Western Red Cedar top with solid Indian Rosewood back and sides, trading the punch and headroom of a spruce top for a softer attack and a rounder, more immediate voice. Cedar has a more compliant cell structure than spruce, so it responds fully at a lighter touch and reaches its tonal ceiling at lower playing volumes; Scalloped V-Class Bracing with Relief Rout channels that responsiveness into more sustain and cleaner intonation up the neck rather than looseness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCedar's softer attack gives up some of spruce's percussive snap in exchange for a note that blooms the instant a string is touched, with less pick-attack transient and more of the note's body up front. Paired with rosewood's deep low end and long, complex decay, the 714ce favors fingerstyle playing and dynamic strumming over hard flatpicking — a fingerpicked chord opens up and lingers rather than cutting off cleanly, giving arrangements a fuller, more layered sound. It suits a singer-songwriter working a quiet room more than a bluegrass picker chasing stage volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Grand Auditorium body carries a Venetian cutaway, a West African Crelicam Ebony fingerboard and bridge with a Reflections inlay suite in green abalone, and a Taylor Claria pickup system with soundhole-mounted volume, Mid-Contour, and tone controls plus an under-saddle pickup for dependable amplified tone. It ships in a natural gloss finish with a Brown Taylor Deluxe Hard Shell Case.
