Taylor Gold Label 814e - Sunburst

Taylor Gold Label 814e - Sunburst

Step into the golden era of acoustic music with the Taylor Gold Label 814e, a masterfully crafted instrument that blends vintage soul with modern innovation. The Super Auditorium body, a slightly larger take on Taylor's classic Grand Auditorium, yields a powerful, full-bodied voice with a warmth and depth reminiscent of the best pre-war flat tops. Its heartwood is solid Honduran Rosewood, a dense tonewood that delivers a smooth voice with exceptional low-end presence and clear trebles that will make your overtones bloom with every note you play. Paired with a torrefied Sitka Spruce top, this guitar has a broken-in sound right out of the case, giving you the clarity and projection of spruce with an added layer of warmth and played-in depth.

Internally, the new Fanned V-Class bracing enhances the guitar's low-end girth and midrange richness, while a long-tenon neck joint improves resonance and sonic transfer, allowing for a deeply resonant voice that retains the precise intonation and sustain Taylor is known for. This guitar doesn't just sound beautiful; its visuals are just as stunning. The genuine West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard provides a striking contrast and a glassy tap tone with clear and articulate sustain. With a captivating Golden Brown Sunburst finish, this instrument is as much a work of art as it is a musical tool.
