Taylor Gold Label 814e 'Torrefied Sitka / Hawaiian Koa' Acoustic Electric Guitar - Sunburst

The Taylor Gold Label 814e is a masterful fusion of vintage soul and modern precision, drawing from the golden era of acoustic guitar design while showcasing Taylor’s most refined innovations. With a torrefied Sitka spruce top and solid figured Hawaiian koa back and sides, this Grand Auditorium delivers a voice that’s rich, mature, and instantly broken-in — full of warmth, clarity, and low-end complexity. Inspired by the elegant flattops of the 1930s and ’40s, the Gold Label 814e boasts a sunburst gloss finish, ivoroid binding, and Continental inlays for a timeless aesthetic.

At the heart of the Gold Label 814e is a forward-thinking build featuring fanned V-Class bracing and a long-tenon neck joint, giving the guitar powerful projection, superior intonation, and exceptional sustain. The Honduran rosewood Curve Wing bridge not only elevates tonal transfer but adds a unique visual flourish. Equipped with the LR Baggs Element VTC pickup system, this guitar is ready for the stage, offering clear, organic-sounding amplification that brings out every nuance. From fingerstyle finesse to full-chord strumming, the Gold Label 814e feels and sounds like a custom heirloom instrument designed to inspire.
