Taylor Gold Label 814e Koa Acoustic-electric Guitar - Sunburst

A Koa-laden Tribute to the Steel-string’s Vintage Heyday Taylor’s Gold Label Collection harkens back to an earlier age of acoustic guitar building, merging the heritage sound and style of 1930s- and 1940s-era flat tops with Andy Powers’s boundary-pushing 6-string philosophy. It all starts with the Super Auditorium body — a shape that modifies Taylor’s flagship Grand Auditorium with both a larger profile and a deeper, fuller sound. From the fanned V-Class bracing to the long-tenon neck joint, this 6-string leverages a plethora of golden-age features to send its sound back to the steel-string acoustic’s formative era. A torrefied Sitka spruce top and figured Hawaiian koa back and sides only compound the 814e Koa’s old-school character with crisp highs, sweet lows, and the dynamic sensitivity of a perfectly played-in instrument. Plus, the 814e Koa’s Standard Carve mahogany neck, 15-inch-radius ebony fingerboard, and LR Baggs Element VTC electronics retain the effortless playability
