Overview

• Indian rosewood body yields warmth and lush overtones

• Sinker redwood offers incredible warmth and headroom

• Versatile Grand Auditorium body with all-purpose tone

• V-Class bracing adds power and sustain

• Includes deluxe hardshell case and ES2 electronics

Typically reserved for our highest-end guitars, the rosewood/redwood tonewood pairing joins our family 400 Series guitars for the first time in the 50th Anniversary 414ce Special Edition. Solid Indian rosewood back and sides and a sinker redwood top in a cutaway Grand Auditorium body serve up a blend of rich lows, sparkling chime-like trebles and lush overtones. Sourced from old growth logs submerged for decades in Northern California riverbeds, sinker redwood offers cedar-like warmth and remarkable touch sensitivity. Tone-enhancing V-Class bracing dials up extra volume and sustain while keeping notes more in tune with each other all the way up the neck. The fretboard and peghead are inlaid with an elegant Engraved Victorian design. Grained ivoroid binding on the gloss-finished body offers a stark visual contrast to its tobacco Shaded Edgeburst top treatment and firestripe faux-tortoise pickguard. Like other 50th Anniversary guitars, this model boasts gold tuners and gold-dotted ebony bridge pins. It’s outfitted with an onboard ES2 pickup and ships in a deluxe hard shell case.
