Overview

Boasting superior craftsmanship, top-tier tonewoods and a bevy of design innovations, the Gold Label 814e introduces the world to a new kind of Taylor sound. This model features a new body shape we've called the Super Auditorium, a slightly larger version of our famous Grand Auditorium shape that yields impressive power with a heritage-inspired warmth and richness that will entice traditionalists and contemporary ears alike. Back and sides of Honduran rosewood are paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, delivering exceptional low-end presence, clear trebles and a complex harmonic character with overtones that bloom as notes resonate. Inside, a new iteration of our V-Class bracing dials up longer sustain, greater volume and near-perfect pitch accuracy all the way up the neck. A new long-tenon neck joint improves overall resonance and sonic transfer, also providing super-precise adjustability whenever the need arises. This Super Auditorium guitar sports a fresh suite of visual appointments with a new Continental inlay suite, a new pickguard design, grained ivoroid trim, antique chrome Gotoh 510 tuners with ebony buttons, bone bridge pins, and a gloss-finished body. It ships with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and a deluxe hardshell case with a British Cocoa exterior.

  • Super Auditorium body yields deep, warm resonance
  • Honduran rosewood back and sides produce lush overtones
  • Torrefied spruce top adds projection and additional warmth
  • Long-tenon neck joint with exceptional adjustability
  • Includes LR Baggs Element VTC pickup and deluxe hardshell case
  • Made in El Cajon, California USA.

The Taylor Gold Label 814e Honduran Rosewood/Torrified Spruce Super Auditorium Acoustic-Electric sets itself apart from standard Taylor models with a series of thoughtful, high-end refinements that enhance both tone and aesthetic. One of the key differences lies in the pickup system—this Gold Label model forgoes Taylor’s standard Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics in favor of a premium internal LR Baggs - Element VTC microphone pickup, delivering a more natural, studio-mic’d acoustic sound with greater warmth and responsiveness for discerning performers and recording artists. Internally, the Gold Label 814e features an altered version of Taylor’s V-Class bracing, subtly optimized to allow even more top movement and sustain, emphasizing clarity and harmonic richness. Visually, it departs from the standard 814e’s ornate appointments in favor of sleeker, more refined details: minimalist inlays, a clean, flush headstock logo, and a distinct headstock design with a steeper tilt-back angle for improved string pressure and sustain. Altogether, these changes result in a more resonant, intimate instrument tailored for players who value tonal nuance, premium feel, and understated elegance over mass-market flash.
