Taylor 514e Gold Label Blacktop

Classic warmth and modern innovation in a powerful Super Auditorium body.

The Taylor Gold Label 514e is a premium acoustic guitar that combines vintage tone with contemporary Taylor technology and playability. This model features a Super Auditorium body shape: a slightly larger and deeper version of Taylor's renowned Grand Auditorium shape. This body shape delivers a full, warm, and rich tone with added bass depth and a strong, musical midrange, while maintaining balance and articulation. Ideal for both strummers and fingerstyle players.

The guitar features a solid, torrefied Sitka spruce top that offers an open, played-in character from the start. The solid mahogany back and sides provide warmth, focus, and a woody response with clear, direct projection. The result is a dynamic and expressive tone that adapts effortlessly to various playing styles.

Taylor's fanned V-Class bracing delivers improved sustain, optimal intonation, and a balanced tone across the entire frequency spectrum. The innovative Action Control Neck makes it easy to fine-tune string height for maximum playing comfort without removing the strings or neck.

The 514e Gold Label features the LR Baggs Element VTC pickup system, which delivers a natural, warm, and detailed amplified tone perfect for both live and studio recording.

The guitar comes with a deluxe hardshell case.
