Taylor Gold Label 814e Sunburst Koa

Torrefied Sitka Spruce on Hawaiian Koa: the Gold Label 814e that combines vintage warmth and Koa character in one instrument

The Taylor Gold Label series pays homage to the great acoustic guitars of the 1930s, and the 814e Sunburst Koa is the most special version of that series. A Super Auditorium body with extra resonance and a fuller bass response, a solid torrefied Sitka Spruce top that sounds as if it has been played for decades, and solid Hawaiian Koa on the back and sides with a grain that looks different in every light. The Golden Brown Sunburst finish completes the picture.

Torrefied Sitka Spruce, through a special heat process, has acquired the properties of a played-in vintage top: open, dynamic, and with rich harmonic complexity. Hawaiian Koa adds a warm, vocal-like midrange with clear highs and a complex spectrum of overtones. The Fanned V-Class bracing ensures perfect intonation, extra sustain, and a balanced tone across the entire frequency spectrum. The Action Control Neck makes it easy to adjust the string height for optimal playability.

The ebony fingerboard features MOP Continental inlays and 20 frets on a 25.5" scale length. The Gotoh 510 Antique Chrome tuners with ebony buttons are both beautiful and stable. The LR Baggs Element VTC pickup system delivers a warm, natural amplified sound that is perfect for both stage and studio. Supplied with a deluxe hardshell case.

The Taylor Gold Label 814e Sunburst Koa is for the player who wants the best of both worlds: the vintage feel of the Gold Label series and the unmistakable character of Hawaiian Koa. Come and play it and discover why this instrument is in a category of its own.
