The Taylor 414ce Tobacco Sunburst acoustic guitar produces a very balanced sound thanks to its mid-sized construction and perfectly matched tonewoods. This spreads quickly and over a wide area even with light strumming, which is due in no small part to the V-shaped bracing of the top and the gauzy high-gloss finish.

Right next to the jack is the battery compartment of the 9V block battery that powers the active system.

Uncontrolled clearing of forests and overexploitation lead to massively endangered wood species, which can no longer regenerate due to the high pace of mining. These include ebony and koa in particular, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at
Because ebony's hard, supple texture makes it particularly finger-friendly, it has long been the preferred choice for making fingerboards. Its attractive appearance is also extremely popular for bridges, headstock rests, bridge

Koa acacia populations have also suffered severe losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry as well as overexploitation led to a decline that can only be stopped by proactive action and reforestation. Therefore,
