Overview
414ce LTD (2019)
The 400 Series has long offered reliable, sonically rich options for players who need guitars as serious about music as they are. For this limited release 414ce, we’ve taken that straightforward, professional approach and spiced it up with a Western red cedar top to match with solid ovangkol back and sides. The result is a guitar whose tone is a bit darker than you might expect from the 400 Series, thanks to cedar’s warmth and low-end responsiveness. Ovangkol’s more treble-focused, sparkling tone profile helps balance the top’s lower volume ceiling, making this an excellent option for fingerstyle guitarists who love to get creative with dynamics. Aesthetically, we’ve appointed this 414ce LTD with a hand-applied shaded edgeburst finish treatment for the back and sides, complementing cedar’s earthy, organic coloration. It ships with ES2 electronics in a deluxe hardshell case.
FEATURES
Ovangkol
Although not as well-known as its Indian rosewood cousin, ovangkol shares many of the same properties, making it a versatile, great-sounding tonewood.
Western Red Cedar
A true performer for those with a lighter touch, cedar tops yield extra warmth and pair nicely with mahogany and rosewood.
Expression System® 2
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
V-Class Bracing
Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
