The Gold Label 714e: Old-School Character, New-School Precision

Between its classic tonewood pairing, natural finish and clean, understated details, the Gold Label 714e sonically and visually reflects the character of traditional steel-string acoustics. Part of Taylor's prestigious Gold Label Collection, this guitar honors the heritage of the acoustic instrument while incorporating the most advanced engineering Taylor has ever brought to the 700 Series. The result is a guitar that feels familiar and timeless, yet plays and performs with a level of precision and responsiveness that only modern craftsmanship can deliver. For players who want an heirloom-quality instrument with a clean, natural aesthetic, the Gold Label 714e is a compelling choice.

A Super Auditorium Voice Built for Depth and Warmth

Solid Indian rosewood back and sides are paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top in a Super Auditorium body, which has a slightly longer body and wider lower bout than Taylor's signature Grand Auditorium shape. This versatile model yields a deep, open voice marked by warm, resonant lows, round trebles and rich, blooming overtones. The specially roasted soundboard adds played-in sweetness to its sound. Inside, a fanned variant of the V-Class bracing architecture dials up extra volume and sustain, extending the sonic platform of the rosewood and spruce pairing with greater depth, resonance, and dynamic range across the full frequency spectrum.

Exclusive Gold Label Craftsmanship and Effortless Playability

A slim-profile, long-tenon Action Control Neck offers easy, precise adjustability through the soundhole. The long-tenon joint improves tonal transfer between the neck and body for added warmth and sustain, while the patented shimless adjustment mechanism gives players effortless control over string height without tools. This model features design elements exclusive to the Gold Label Collection: a distinctive pickguard shape and a modified headstock shape with an angled-back cut and script-style logo. The West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard carries Cream Crest inlays with matching peghead inlay, and the gloss peghead finish adds a refined finishing touch that signals the elevated tier this instrument occupies.

Heritage Details and Premium Stage-Ready Electronics

Other details include a full-body gloss finish, cream-colored binding with matching Crest fretboard inlays and rosette, and a Honduran rosewood Curve Wing bridge with Indian rosewood bridge pins. The firestripe pickguard adds a nod to vintage style while reinforcing the guitar's understated, traditional aesthetic. Equipped with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics, the Gold Label 714e comes in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case with a British Cocoa exterior. The LR Baggs Element VTC undersaddle pickup channels tone from the movement of the guitar's top, delivering a remarkably warm, detailed amplified sound that faithfully represents the instrument's natural acoustic voice.
