Hawaiian Koa and torrefied Sitka in a Super Auditorium: Taylor's Gold Label at its finest

The Taylor Gold Label 814e KOA is an instrument that brings together two worlds: the warm, lyrical tone of solid Hawaiian Koa and the open, broken-in response of a torrefied Sitka Spruce top. The Gold Label Series is Taylor's tribute to pre-war guitar building of the 1930s, translated into a modern instrument with contemporary playability features and the highest build quality Taylor offers. The Super Auditorium body is slightly larger and deeper than the classic Grand Auditorium, which provides extra resonance and a fuller bass response.

Hawaiian Koa has a character that is difficult to describe without hearing it: warm in the midrange, bright in the high tones, with a complex spectrum of overtones that becomes richer with every hour of playing. The torrefied Sitka Spruce top enhances that character by offering an open, dynamic response from day one that would normally take years to break in. The fanned V-Class bracing provides excellent intonation, broad sustain, and a well-balanced tone across the entire register.

The Action Control Neck allows for precise string height adjustment without major modifications, keeping the 814e KOA comfortably playable for years. The LR Baggs Element VTC pickup delivers a warm, natural amplified sound that leaves the acoustic qualities completely intact. The guitar comes with a deluxe hardshell case.

The Taylor Gold Label 814e KOA is for the guitarist seeking the best of both worlds: the visual and tonal beauty of Koa, combined with Taylor's most modern construction and playability technology.
