Taylor Gold Label 814e Koa

The Taylor Gold Label 814e belongs to the innovative series of guitars born from the genius of master luthier Taylor Andy Powers: instruments designed with the intent to push the boundaries of tradition, combining premium materials and innovative technical solutions.

Specifically, the Gold Label 814e features a body with the innovative Super Auditorium shape, a variant of the iconic Grand Auditorium. Compared to the latter, it is more resonant while remaining balanced across all frequencies.

The top is made of “Torrefied” Sitka spruce, artificially treated to emulate the characteristics of a seasoned top, and is paired with solid koa back and sides, a highly sought-after and prestigious material. The bracing has also been reworked: we find a Fanned V-Class, a variant of the already innovative V-Class, which enhances the instrument's intonation and sustain.

The result is an extremely balanced, resonant instrument with a deep tone, powerful low frequencies, and defined highs.

Finally, the electronics feature an L.R. Baggs Element VTC, perfect for replicating the natural sound of the guitar, capturing every nuance with crystal-clear clarity: the ideal solution for those seeking a “transparent” amplification system.
