Taylor Gold Label 514e Acoustic-Electric Guitar (Natural)

• Super Auditorium body for supreme warmth and power
• Mahogany/torrefied spruce combo yields woody, sweet midrange
• Fanned V-Class bracing adds volume, sustain and low-end presence
• Action Control Neck enables fast, easy action changes
• Includes LR Baggs electronics and hardshell case

Crafted on the foundation of the new Super Auditorium body shape, this addition to the Gold Label Collection serves up a rich flavor of midrange tone reminiscent of old-school acoustic sounds. The Super Auditorium body evolves the blueprint of our popular Grand Auditorium shape with a fanned variant of our V-Class bracing that delivers exceptional warmth and depth while preserving clarity and midrange focus. With back and sides of solid mahogany paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, players can expect a woody sonic character with a strong emphasis on the fundamental note, keeping the overtones in check. The Gold Label 514e also boasts our patented Action Control Neck, which combines a long-tenon joint with an innovative system that allows for fast, precise adjustments to string height. Appointments for the Gold Label 514e include cream-colored binding with matching Crest fretboard inlays and rosette, a firestripe pickguard, nickel tuning machines, Honduran rosewood bridge pins, and a natural gloss finish. It ships with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and a deluxe British Cocoa hardshell case.

The beloved mahogany/spruce tonewood pairing and our Super Auditorium body shape combine for a warm, woody sound that performs beautifully across playing styles.

Super Auditorium

Tropical Mahogany
A midrange powerhouse. Mahogany is prized for balance and articulation, making it one of the best all-around tonewoods there is.

Action Control Neck
Building on Taylor’s legacy of easy-playing necks, the new Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon joint for added warmth and depth with a patented system for effortless string height adjustment.

Sitka Spruce
The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.

LR Baggs - Element VTC
This undersaddle pickup channels tone from the movement of a guitar’s top, delivering a remarkably warm, detailed sound in Gold Label and Legacy Collection guitars.
