Taylor Gold Label 814e - natural

Inspired by the "flat-top" acoustic guitars of the 1930s and 1940s, the models in the Gold Label Collection embody a new concept for Taylor. The instruments in this new series combine three elements to create a magnificent traditional sound: a new Super Auditorium cutaway, a new variant of the remarkable V-Class Bracing and a new "long-tenon" neck joint.

- the proportions of the Super Auditorium are an evolution of the Taylor Grand Auditorium, with a significantly longer body and wider lower section.
- the "Fanned V-Class" bracing is an evolution of the V-Class introduced in 2018 and designed by master luthier Andy Powers. The best of both worlds, hybridizing the traditional and the modern - the "long-tenon" neck joint exacerbates the resonance of low frequencies. The sonic performance of the Gold Label des performances is absolutely incredible. With great richness and definition, these guitars produce a volume proportional to the intensity of the playing dynamics, while naturally and musically compressing the signal. Notes played softly are magnified by the guitar with surprising warmth and volume.

The first Gold Label models are made from top-grade solid woods, and are available in two configurations: torrefied Sitka Spruce top with Honduras Rosewood back and sides, or torrefied Sitka Spruce top with figured Hawaiian Koa back and sides. Honduras Rosewood, a favorite of the music industry, is much denser than other species of rosewood. This contributes to its harmonic richness and complexity. It produces incomparable hushed tones while preserving the clarity of more traditional rosewoods. For all these reasons, Honduras Rosewood is the choice of the most prestigious acoustics, and you'll have no trouble recording on stage or in the studio thanks to the on-board LR Baggs Element VTC system. Two discreet knobs on the inner edge of the soundhole let you adjust volume and tone.
