The Taylor Gold Label 814e SB is the latest evolution of one of Taylor’s most iconic models, reinvented for the discerning modern player. The 800 Series has long represented the pinnacle of Taylor’s craftsmanship and tonal sophistication, and with the Gold Label edition, Taylor pushes the envelope even further. This special model introduces the all-new Super Auditorium body shape — a refined spin on the Grand Auditorium — with a larger footprint for more low-end depth and increased power, while retaining the comfort and balance that has made the 814e a favorite among professionals and session players alike. The addition of a rich sunburst finish and premium tonewoods both elevate this instrument to true heirloom status.

Crafted with a torrefied Sitka spruce top and Honduran rosewood back and sides, the 814e SB offers a rich, harmonically complex voice with a warm low end, articulate highs, and an expressive dynamic range. The torrefaction process gives the spruce a "played-in" character straight out of the case, while Honduran rosewood — one of the most prized and dense tonewoods available — delivers rich overtone content and excellent projection. Whether you're a singer-songwriter looking for a lush accompaniment instrument, a fingerstyle player craving clarity and response, or a dynamic strummer in need of power and nuance, this guitar excels across genres from folk, country, and pop to jazz and modern acoustic rock.

This Gold Label edition isn’t just about tone — it’s a showcase of artistry. The V-Class bracing with a tonal rout boosts volume and sustain, while the long-tenon neck joint improves resonance and playability. Tasteful touches like Mother-of-Pearl Continental inlays, a custom engraved pickguard, and Gotoh 510 tuners with ebony buttons add sophistication and style. Plugged in, the LR Baggs Element VTC electronics deliver transparent, natural amplified tone with a minimalist footprint. Paired with a deluxe British Cocoa hardshell case, the Taylor Gold Label 814e SB is a world-class instrument built for the stage, the studio, and a lifetime of inspiring performances.
