Overview

A stunning tribute to an iconic Hollywood music mecca.

The Taylor 414ce Studio Sunset Blvd Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar is a tribute to a legendary mecca for musicians—Guitar Center's flagship store on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, CA. This exclusive collaboration between Taylor Guitars and Guitar Center blends world-class craftsmanship with a design that honors over six decades of musical heritage. As part of the Sunset Blvd Collection, this 414ce Studio model pairs a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides with Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing, offering superior resonance, balance and sustain. A stunning Sunset Edgeburst finish sets this special-edition guitar apart, while its versatile Grand Auditorium shape ensures it meets the demands of a wide range of players. Whether you're a seasoned professional or an aspiring musician, this guitar delivers a premium playing experience inspired by an iconic music destination.

Acoustic-Electric Guitar With Torrefied Sitka Spruce Top and Stunning Sunset Blvd Finish

At the heart of the 414ce Studio Sunset Blvd is its time-tested tonewood pairing of a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides. The torrefaction process ages the spruce top, giving it a gorgeous played-in sound with enhanced warmth and responsiveness. Indian rosewood provides rich overtones, clear articulation and a deep, resonant bass, making this guitar exceptionally dynamic and versatile. The striking Sunset Edgeburst finish gives the top a golden-brown glow reminiscent of Hollywood's vibrant skyline, adding a distinct aesthetic to this exclusive model. Complementing the finish is a high-gloss body that enhances the visual depth of the woods while protecting them for years to come.

Taylor Neo-Tropical Mahogany Neck for Effortless Playability

The 414ce Studio Sunset Blvd features a neo-tropical mahogany neck carved into Taylor's standard profile, offering a smooth, fast feel that's perfect for fingerstyle, strumming and everything in between. The genuine West African ebony fingerboard provides a luxurious playing surface, ensuring precise fretting and effortless movement across all 20 frets. With a 25.5" scale length and a comfortable 1-11/16" nut width, this Grand Auditorium guitar is easy to navigate, making it a great choice for players of all skill levels. Taylor's signature neck construction ensures long-term stability, meaning your guitar will maintain its perfect setup even after years of playing.

Taylor ES2 Electronics for Natural Amplified Tone

Equipped with Taylor's renowned Expression System 2 (ES2), the 414ce Studio Sunset Blvd delivers studio-quality amplified sound. Unlike traditional under-saddle pickups, the ES2 features a behind-the-saddle design with three individually calibrated sensors, allowing for a more natural and dynamic response. Whether you're performing live, recording in the studio or simply playing at home, the ES2 ensures your guitar's rich tonal characteristics translate beautifully through any amplifier or PA system. The onboard preamp includes easy-to-use volume, bass and treble controls, giving you the flexibility to shape your sound with precision.

Premium Taylor Guitars Features Fit for Hollywood Royalty

Beyond its luxurious tone and premium playability, the 414ce Studio Sunset Blvd showcases refined aesthetic details that make it a standout in any collection. Gold Taylor tuning machines with matching gold buttons provide smooth, precise tuning while adding a luxe touch. Italian acrylic diamond fretboard inlays bring a subtle yet sophisticated elegance to the ebony fingerboard. Chamfered body edges enhance comfort during extended playing sessions, while a faux tortoiseshell pickguard completes the vintage-inspired look. Inside the guitar, a custom Sunset Blvd label signifies its special place in Taylor and Guitar Center's collaborative history.
