Taylor Gold Label 714e Ebony Fingerboard, Natural

~Guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive~

Inspired by older, more traditional acoustic sound, Taylor’s Gold Label Collection reveals a rounder, warmer, more robust flavor of acoustic tone - a sound unlike anything Taylor has previously offered. Master builder Andy Powers' sonic recipe for the collection includes three key innovations: mint body shapes, a fanned variant of his V-Class bracing platform and a revolutionary long-tenon Action Control Neck joint.

Super Auditorium: Featuring a slightly longer body and wider lower bout than the iconic Grand Auditorium body shape, the non-cutaway Super Auditorium delivers a deep, open voice with exceptional warmth, power and dynamic range—while offering incredible musical versatility. Its responsive feel and focused clarity suit fingerstyle, light strumming and flatpicking alike.

Fanned V-Class® Bracing: Featuring a fan-like arrangement of braces in the soundboard’s lower bout, this V-Class variant delivers on the original promise of Andy Powers’ innovative sonic engine: a flexible voicing platform capable of unlocking a bold mint palette of sounds. In this case, it gives these Gold Label models a warmer, more resonant, more powerful sound.

Action Control Neck®: This patented, groundbreaking design features a long-tenon neck joint that extends deeper into the body, enhancing the wood coupling to boost the low-end resonance, and a slim, fast-playing profile that delivers signature Taylor playability. It also enables quick, precise string height adjustments with a turn of a bolt through the soundhole—no need to remove the neck or strings. 

Heritage-Inspired Aesthetics: The collection’s decorative aesthetic draws inspiration from old banjos and mandolins, early Taylor designs, and Andy’s pre-Taylor design work on archtop guitars. The guitars feature his modified headstock shape with an angled back cut and a script-style Taylor logo inlay, a different pickguard shape, and a Gold Label guitar label inside.

Solid Indian rosewood and torrefied Sitka spruce channel rosewood’s deep lows, rich trebles and blooming overtones with impressive power and dynamic range. Each model boasts crisp, understated details that channel the Gold Label Collection’s workhorse spirit, including cream-colored “Crest” inlays on the fretboard and peghead, cream body binding with black/white/black purfling, and a cream single-ring rosette with black/white/black purfling. Players can choose from three top finish options: natural, blacktop or a golden-brown sunburst.
