Gold Label 814e SB

This edition of Taylor's all-new Gold Label 814e adds a lustrous sunburst finish to match its seasoned, heritage-style sound and lush overtones. Featuring the new Super Auditorium body shape, this model boasts back and sides of Honduran rosewood, a torrefied Sitka spruce top and a fanned variant of a tone-boosting V-Class bracing architecture. The result is a sound with stunning warmth and richness, complemented with remarkable power and clarity even with the most aggressive attack. A new long-tenon neck joint improves sonic transfer for greater resonance while also offering even easier and more precise adjustability, letting you dial in the feel you need to sound your best. A suite of Continental inlays, grained ivoroid trim, a new pickguard, antique chrome Gotoh 510 tuners with ebony buttons, and a full-body gloss round out the package. This model includes LR Baggs Element VTC electronics with discrete soundhole-mounted controls, ensuring warm, rich sound when you need to plug in. The Gold Label 814e SB ships with a deluxe hardshell case featuring a stylish British Cocoa exterior.

 

A New Recipe for an Old Voice

Gold Label Taylor guitars generate a lush, warm sound that will remind players of the heritage instruments that first made acoustic guitars popular among music lovers. Built on a V-Class foundation, the new sound is a result of three design elements.

New Body Shape: The Super Auditorium
Similar to the Grand Auditorium, this new body is slightly longer with a wider lower bout, yielding improved low-end presence.

New Bracing: Fanned V-Class
A fan-like arrangement of braces attached with traditional hide glue produces more midrange richness and power.

New Neck Joint: Long-Tenon
Enhanced wood coupling translates into greater low-end resonance with a glueless configuration that offers easy, precise adjustability.

 

Features:

  • New Super Auditorium shape for power and sonic focus
  • Torrefied Sitka spruce top adds warmth and projection
  • Honduran rosewood yields complex overtone profile
  • Long-tenon neck joint improves resonance and adjustability
  • Includes LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and deluxe hardshell case

 

Highlights:

Super Auditorium
A new take on Taylor’s signature Grand Auditorium body shape

Torrefied Spruce Top
Treated with a special roasting process, torrefied spruce tops deliver all the clarity, balance and projection you’d expect from a traditional spruce top with an extra dash of warmth and played-in depth.

Honduran Rosewood Back and Sides
Extremely dense compared to other rosewood species, Honduran rosewood sings with a uniquely smooth voice that makes it worthy of our finest guitars.
