Description

The Taylor Sunset Blvd 714ce Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar is a celebration of sound, style and heritage?crafted in honor of Guitar Center’s legendary Hollywood flagship store. This limited-edition model stands at the intersection of sonic innovation and visual artistry, blending Taylor’s revered craftsmanship with custom appointments that pay tribute to one of music’s most iconic locations. A solid sinker redwood top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides form the tonal foundation, yielding a voice that’s rich, expressive and incredibly dynamic. The Grand Auditorium body delivers all-purpose versatility, while V-Class bracing enhances sustain and harmonic clarity. Dressed in an exclusive Sunset Edgeburst finish and adorned with high-end details like Victorian inlays and green abalone accents, this 714ce offers both visual and tonal sophistication for players who want something truly special.

Solid Sinker Redwood and Indian Rosewood for Bold, Balanced Tone

The tonewood pairing on the Sunset Blvd 714ce delivers a voice that’s both powerful and nuanced. The top is made from solid sinker redwood?a rare tonewood with the dynamic response of cedar but a bit more headroom and tonal complexity. It reacts instantly to a light touch, blooming with overtones and warmth, yet it holds up beautifully under a heavier attack. Paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, the guitar gains additional richness and low-end clarity, with bell-like highs and a slightly scooped midrange that enhances both fingerstyle and strumming. Together, this combination produces a full-spectrum sound with presence, depth and a refined sweetness that players will find inspiring across genres.

Comfortable Neo-Tropical Mahogany Neck for Elegant Playability

Crafted for comfort and speed, the neck of the Sunset Blvd 714ce features Taylor’s Standard Profile Carve with a 1-3/4″ nut width and 25.5″ scale length?an ideal setup for a wide range of playing styles. Built from neo-tropical mahogany and topped with a genuine West African ebony fingerboard, the neck has a fast, responsive feel that’s immediately familiar to seasoned players. Its satin finish provides a smooth glide along the fretting hand, while the carefully engineered neck joint ensures long-term stability and precise action. Whether you’re moving between chords or playing intricate leads, the 714ce’s neck stays out of your way and invites you to explore the full tonal potential of the instrument.

Taylor Expression System 2 Electronics for Stage-Ready Sound

The Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) delivers top-tier amplified tone without compromising the guitar’s natural acoustic voice. Designed with a behind-the-saddle configuration and individually calibrated sensors, the ES2 captures a broader dynamic range than traditional undersaddle pickups. This means your performance?whether you’re delicately fingerpicking or rhythmically strumming?comes through with clarity and nuance. The onboard preamp includes easy-to-use volume, bass and treble controls, along with a phase switch for feedback control, giving you flexible sound shaping when plugged into a PA, amp or recording interface. Whether you’re performing on stage or laying down tracks in the studio, the ES2 ensures your tone remains authentic and expressive.

Premium Taylor Appointments With Exclusive Visual Flair

The Sunset Blvd 714ce showcases a level of detail and aesthetic design that reflects its West Coast roots. Inspired by the vibrant hues of a warm Hollywood evening, the Sunset Edgeburst finish highlights the sinker redwood’s natural grain. Green abalone shell outlines the rosette, while grained ivoroid binding and Italian acrylic Victorian fingerboard inlays elevate the guitar’s elegance. A genuine ebony headstock overlay and gold tuners with matching buttons enhance both the feel and the look, complemented by a richly grained Indian rosewood pickguard. Each guitar also features a unique Sunset Blvd Collection label, marking it as part of this limited and exclusive series. It ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case for protection worthy of its build.
