The Taylor Gold Label 514e Super Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar in striking Blacktop finish brings together vintage character and modern performance in a way that invites you to play from the first moment you pick it up. Its Super Auditorium body with a solid torrefied spruce top and rich mahogany back and sides delivers an engaging, warm tonal palette that’s articulate, balanced, and responsive across fingerstyle playing, flatpicking, or full-chord strumming. Premium features like Taylor’s fanned V-Class bracing, West African ebony fingerboard with cream “Crest” inlays, smooth satin mahogany neck, and reliable Taylor nickel tuners give this guitar a feel and voice that’s at home on a dimly lit stage or a focused studio session. The tasteful gloss Blacktop finish paired with cream binding and a cream pickguard adds a visually bold yet refined presence.

Whether you’re prepping for your next gig or hunting for an instrument that inspires creativity every time you sit down with it, the 514e’s LR Baggs Element VTC electronics make plugging in effortless and true to its unplugged voice, translating the natural resonance and dynamic touch into amplified sound with clarity and nuance. Every detail of this guitar seems crafted with the player in mind, and it arrives protected in a deluxe Taylor hardshell case so it’s ready to hit the road. This exceptional instrument is available now at Haggerty’s Music for musicians looking to elevate their playing experience with a visually stunning and sonically rich acoustic-electric guitar.
