Every great acoustic voice begins with a clear purpose — and the Taylor Gold Label 514e was built to deliver warmth, character, and unmistakable musicality in every note. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this instrument represents a refined evolution of Taylor’s design philosophy, introducing the Super Auditorium body shape to players seeking a richer, more vintage-inspired tonal response without sacrificing modern performance. From the first strum, it tells a story rooted in tradition but shaped for today’s musician.

At the heart of this guitar is a carefully selected tonewood pairing: a Sitka spruce top matched with solid tropical mahogany back and sides. This combination produces a focused, woody voice with strong midrange presence and controlled overtones — ideal for players who want clarity and warmth without excessive brightness. The innovative fanned V-Class bracing enhances volume, sustain, and low-end support, giving the guitar a fuller, more dynamic response that adapts beautifully across fingerstyle, strumming, and singer-songwriter styles.

Equally impressive is Taylor’s Action Control Neck, a forward-thinking design that allows for quick, precise adjustments to string height while maintaining exceptional stability and resonance. Elegant appointments like cream binding, Crest inlays, and a firestripe pickguard complete the look, while the LR Baggs Element VTC electronics ensure natural, articulate amplified tone. Housed in a premium British Cocoa hardshell case, this Gold Label 514e is a standout instrument built for players who value both heritage tone and modern innovation.
