Taylor Gold Label 814e Koa Naturel

Under the leadership of Andy Powers, Taylor has built a beautiful new series of guitars with the Gold Label Collection. Packed with innovations, the Gold Label Series sounds like a real old guitar, and are truly 'Born With an Old Soul'!

This collection introduces an all-new Super Auditorium body design, combined with unique Fanned V-Class bracing and a long tenon neck joint. The result? A rich, full tone reminiscent of the warm tones of flattop guitars from the 1930s and 1940s, but with the unmatched volume, sustain and precision Taylor is known for. This is more than a guitar; it’s a tribute to a timeless sound, reinvented.

“The harder you play, the louder the guitar gets, but it naturally starts to compress the sound into a more controlled, focused tone rather than becoming mushy.

Yet these guitars also respond to delicate articulation with a broadly rich voice. When you play a simple note softly, the guitar naturally amplifies it with surprising warmth and volume.”

The Gold Label models are presented in two beautiful wood combinations, including Hawaiian Koa with torrefied Sitka spruce like this 814e. Each model is equipped with luxury details such as ivoroid bindings, a paua rosette and a refined “Continental” inlay pattern. The bridge and pins, crafted from Honduran rosewood and bone, enhance the natural resonance. Add Gotoh 510 tuners with ebony buttons and an LR Baggs Element VTC pickup system, and you have an instrument that stands out both visually and aurally.

With an exclusive “British Cocoa” hardshell case and a new aesthetic that blends classic influences with modern refinement, the Gold Label Collection positions itself as a premium option in the Taylor lineup. These are guitars designed for the player who seeks an instrument that inspires and performs at the highest level. Discover a new era of tone and style with the Taylor Gold Label Collection.
