Taylor Custom Select 614ce Next Generation 'Tuxedo' 'Natural' Grand Auditorium Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Taylor Custom Select 614ce Next Generation Tuxedo is a one-of-a-kind expression of Taylor's Next Generation 614ce platform, and part of Taylor's Custom Select program - a custom menu system that allows players to personalise specific features beyond the standard production specification. This example takes the full Next Generation 614ce specification and applies the striking Tuxedo appointment package: a natural finish across the entire guitar paired with black binding throughout, creating a bold, high-contrast visual identity that is as elegant and distinctive as its namesake suggests - the natural maple and torrefied spruce glowing warmly against the jet-black binding in a combination that turns heads without a single superfluous decorative flourish.

Beneath the Tuxedo exterior lies the complete Next Generation 614ce platform - a torrefied Sitka spruce top with bigleaf maple back and sides and Scalloped V-Class bracing that delivers the 600 series' celebrated touch sensitivity, transparency, and string-to-string balance with enhanced low-end warmth and projection. Action Control Neck with long-tenon joint, Standard Carve neo-tropical mahogany neck, West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard with green abalone Wings inlays, and Taylor Claria under-saddle electronics with soundhole-mounted controls complete a specification that is tonally exceptional and visually unique. Ideal for players who want the full Next Generation 614ce acoustic-electric experience in an exclusive Custom Select configuration available nowhere else.

Features

• Tuxedo Custom Select appointment package pairs a natural finish across the entire guitar body with black binding throughout, creating a bold, high-contrast visual identity that is elegant, striking, and entirely unique to this Custom Select order.
• Torrefied Sitka spruce top with bigleaf maple back and sides delivers the 600 series' celebrated sonic transparency and touch sensitivity - maple reflecting every nuance of playing style with a sweet, responsive character enhanced by the torrefaction process's broken-in warmth.
• Scalloped V-Class bracing adds muscular low-end response and a warmer, richer resonance to the proven V-Class formula while preserving pitch accuracy, sustain, and note-to-note clarity across the full fingerboard.
• Action Control Neck with long-tenon joint allows neck angle adjustment without removing strings, and the long-tenon protrudes deeply into the heel for added warmth and low-end resonance throughout the instrument.
• Taylor Claria under-saddle electronics with soundhole-mounted Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour controls deliver warm, accurate amplified acoustic tone with plug-and-play simplicity suited to any live or studio application.
