Taylor Gold Label 514e acoustic-electric guitar
If you want an acoustic-electric guitar with extra low-end depth without losing clarity, the Taylor Gold Label 514e stands out right away. Its Super Auditorium body is slightly larger than a traditional Grand Auditorium, giving this Taylor acoustic guitar more resonance and a fuller low end while keeping the overall voice clear and open.
The torrefied Sitka spruce top adds a played-in character and quick response. Solid neo-tropical mahogany back and sides bring a rich, woody midrange, making this Taylor a strong choice for players who want warmth and definition in the same instrument.
Construction, playing comfort and electronics
The mahogany neck has a standard profile with a satin finish, so it feels smooth and comfortable in the hand. With a nut width of about 44.45 mm and a scale length of around 25.5 inches, the Taylor Gold Label 514e offers a familiar feel for many guitarists. Its West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard has 20 frets and matches the upscale character of the instrument.
Inside, Taylor uses new Fanned V-Class bracing for more volume, sustain and low-frequency presence while maintaining clarity and intonation. The Action Control Neck with long-tenon joint supports resonance and stability. When plugged in, the LR Baggs Element VTC system gives you a natural and dynamic amplified sound. The Gold Label hardshell case in British Cocoa completes the package for safe transport between home, studio and stage. At Magna Music, you can also count on personal advice from musicians in the store and workshop.
