{"product_id":"614ce-next-generation-grand-auditorium","title":"Taylor Next Generation 614ce Grand Auditorium 'Antique Blond' Acoustic Electric Guitar","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Taylor Next Generation 614ce builds on one of the brand's most celebrated models, pairing a torrefied Sitka spruce top with bigleaf maple back and sides under the new Scalloped V-Class bracing architecture. Torrefaction gives the spruce top a broken-in resonance and increased dynamic range from the outset, while the scalloped bracing refines the standard V-Class formula with stronger bass response and a warmer, more cohesive blend between notes. Maple's natural sonic transparency means the 614ce responds closely to your personal playing style, rewarding both fingerpickers and strummers with crisp definition and focused low-end punch across the full frequency range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaylor's Claria electronics system takes a ground-up approach to under-saddle pickup design, pairing a piezo transducer with a purpose-built preamp to eliminate the distortion and unwanted frequencies common to standard under-saddle setups. Soundhole-mounted Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour controls allow quick tone shaping on the fly, and the system requires minimal tweaking to sound natural and accurate through a PA. The Action Control neck joint allows string height to be adjusted with a single bolt, making setup and long-term maintenance straightforward, while the long-tenon joint adds stiffness and depth to the low end. A Crelicam ebony fingerboard with green abalone Wings inlays and a gloss Antique Blond finish complete a guitar that performs as well as it looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorrefied Sitka spruce top with Scalloped V-Class bracing delivers enhanced warmth, stronger bass response, and a broken-in resonance from day one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBigleaf maple back and sides offer sonic transparency and crisp string-to-string definition that reflects your personal playing style faithfully\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaylor Claria under-saddle electronics system provides accurate, distortion-free acoustic tone with plug-and-play simplicity and onboard Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAction Control neck joint allows string height adjustment with a single bolt, simplifying setup and eliminating the need for traditional neck resets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrelicam ebony fingerboard and bridge with green abalone Wings inlays and a 15-inch radius for comfortable, accurate playability across all styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody shape: Grand Auditorium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Torrefied Sitka spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack and sides: Bigleaf maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Neo-Tropical mahogany, Standard Carve, satin finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Crelicam ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard radius: 15\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard inlay: Green abalone Wings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Crelicam ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Black Tusq\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle: White Micarta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut width: 1.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale length: 25.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing: Scalloped V-Class\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Taylor nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: Taylor Claria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck joint: Action Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light .012-.053\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Antique Blond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47798193324253,"sku":"614CE-NEXT-GENERATION","price":5699.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/8045\/files\/0H3A3954.jpg?v=1781838245","url":"https:\/\/www.acousticcentre.com.au\/products\/614ce-next-generation-grand-auditorium","provider":"Acoustic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
