Born With an Old Soul: Introducing the Gold Label Collection
Boasting a new body design, new neck joint, new bracing, and a new aesthetic. Taylor's Gold Label Collection reveals a stunning old-heritage sound that's unlike anything Taylor has ever produced.

Classic Tone Meets Performance-Enhancing Innovation
A new body shape, bracing design and neck joint add up to a powerful, deep, open sound, blending inspiration from vintage acoustic guitars with signature Taylor innovation.

Crafted with a Golden Tone…
The new Super Auditorium body shape, a long-tenon neck joint, fanned V-Class bracing and top-tier tonewoods add up to exceptional power and depth with the unmatched volume, sustain and pitch accuracy you’d expect from a modern Taylor guitar.

…Born with an Old Soul.
The Gold Label Collection draws inspiration from flattop acoustic guitars from the 1930s and ’40s, whose warm, woody sound and open, sweet character came to define generations of music.

A New Recipe for an Old Voice
These guitars generate a lush, warm sound that will remind players of the heritage instruments that first made acoustic guitars popular among music lovers. Built on our V-Class foundation, the new sound is a result of three design elements.

New Body Shape: The Super Auditorium
Similar to our Grand Auditorium, the new body is slightly longer with a wider lower bout, yielding improved low-end presence.

Gold Label Bracing
New Bracing: Fanned V-Class
A fan-like arrangement of braces attached with traditional hide glue produces more midrange richness and power.

Neck Joint
New Neck Joint: Long-Tenon
Enhanced wood coupling translates into greater low-end resonance with a glueless configuration that offers easy, precise adjustability.

Designed by Andy Powers to produce a new voice rich with seasoned warmth and power, the new Gold Label 814e Koa introduces players to a new kind of sound inspired by the classic sounds of the vintage era. This model features a new body shape we're calling the Super Auditorium, which resembles our Grand Auditorium but with slightly wider contours that help coax out more volume and greater low-end presence. Hawaiian koa back and sides paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top generate stunning midrange power and richness complemented by warmth and depth usually only found in older, more played-in guitars. Inside, a fanned variant of our V-Class bracing helps add even more volume and sustain while maintaining focus and clarity even at the highest volumes. A new long-tenon neck joint adds to the litany of innovations, improving sonic transfer for greater resonance and easy adjustability. The Gold Label 814e Koa sports a striking appointment package headlined by our new Continental inlays, a new pickguard design, a Honduran rosewood bridge, grained ivoroid trim, and antique chrome Gotoh 510 tuners with ebony buttons, while a full-body gloss showcases koa's natural highlights and variegation. This model ships with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and a deluxe hardshell case with a British Cocoa exterior.
