Gold Label 814e SB

Watch Video

This edition of our all-new Gold Label 814e adds a lustrous sunburst finish to match its seasoned, heritage-style sound and lush overtones. Featuring the new Super Auditorium body shape, this model boasts back and sides of Honduran rosewood, a torrefied Sitka spruce top and a fanned variant of our tone-boosting V-Class bracing architecture. The result is a sound with stunning warmth and richness, complemented with remarkable power and clarity even with the most aggressive attack. A new long-tenon neck joint improves sonic transfer for greater resonance while also offering even easier and more precise adjustability, letting you dial in the feel you need to sound your best. A suite of Continental inlays, grained ivoroid trim, a new pickguard, antique chrome Gotoh 510 tuners with ebony buttons, and a full-body gloss round out the package. This model includes LR Baggs Element VTC electronics with discrete soundhole-mounted controls, ensuring warm, rich sound when you need to plug in. The Gold Label 814e SB ships with a deluxe hardshell case featuring a stylish British Cocoa exterior.

Features

Stylish Aesthetics. Superior Tone.

A new body shape combined with Honduran rosewood and torrefied Sitka spruce add up to exceptionally warm, vintage-flavored tone.

Super Auditorium

A new take on Taylor’s signature Grand Auditorium body shape

Honduran Rosewood

Extremely dense compared to other rosewood species, Honduran rosewood sings with a uniquely smooth voice that makes it worthy of our finest guitars.

Torrefied Spruce

Treated with our special roasting process, torrefied spruce tops deliver all the clarity, balance and projection you’d expect from a traditional spruce top with an extra dash of warmth and played-in depth.

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.

Will some type of Taylor Sense be available? Also, where is the battery. Most LR Baggs have them by the neck where it is hard to reach when the battery dies. I really enjoy the Taylor Sense for checking battery status on my Taylor's.

Vincent D.

Best answer Glen W. Taylor Guitars staff

TaylorSense will not be available for this model but there are many other humidity sensors available. The battery is mounted inside on the back, near the heel block, for these with the LR Baggs pickup installed.

Why LR Baggs element and not Taylor electronics?

Best answer Glen W. Taylor Guitars staff

Old school pickup for the vintage voice of the guitar.

What is the string height at 12?

Roy B

Best answer Glen W. Taylor Guitars staff

6/64" on the bass side, 4/64" treble and easily adjusted up or down with the action control neck.

What's the width of the waist on this one?

Best answer Josh M. Taylor Guitars staff

9-5/8"

Is a left hand model available?

Ron B.

Best answer Glen W. Taylor Guitars staff

Lefties should be available by April.

Is this, or will this, be produced in LH version? Either standard production or special order?

Best answer Glen W. Taylor Guitars staff

Lefties will be available by April, 2025.

Will one be able to order it without electronics?

Joel P.

Best answer Glen W. Taylor Guitars staff

Yes, you can special order without electronics through any authorized Taylor dealer.

Does it have bolt-on neck joint?

Patrick

Best answer Glen W. Taylor Guitars staff

Yes, the neck is bolted on. These models have a new Long-Tenon neck joint with enhanced wood coupling which translates into greater low-end resonance with a glueless configuration that offers easy, precise adjustability.

What is the width of this guitar at the bottom and what is the scale length?

Melanie

Best answer Glen W. Taylor Guitars staff

16 1/4" at the lower bout and a 25 1/2" scale length.

Now I have two 814….CE and E SB…High and Warm

5 out of 5 stars Peymon G.

I am not a musician , but guitars are my fun and hobby , I thought myself how to play and my style of playing is not like many who know music and guitars better than me. I love sound , my ears pick slightest changes in a tone and I found my dream guitar in 814ce few years ago. I spent good amount of time to adjust the action to what I liked , even though was fine way it was when I got it. Then last month I saw 814e SB and found it to be exactly opposite of what I wanted vs my 814ce with warmer tone , easy action adjustment ….love both of my 814’s

814e Sunburst Rosewood

5 out of 5 stars Jeffrey B.

My 814e gold label was delivered yesterday and WOW!!!!! This guitar is loud and the tone is so balanced and of course it plays like a Taylor. I have always been partial to maple however the combination of the modified V bracing and the hondurian rosewood and whatever other magic Mr.Andy put into this guitar, we’ll let’s just say this is a piece of art. I just replaced the acoustic rhythm tracks on this song I am working on . The 618 maple sounded good but the rhythm needed more warmth and the 814 made the difference. This guitar is absolutely gorgeous the bookend matched back is very unique. It won’t belong before this 814 becomes my favorite guitar. Oh yea the case is cool 😎
