Description
The Taylor 514e Gold Label Super Auditorium in Natural is built for players who want a deeper, warmer acoustic tone without giving up the clarity and responsiveness Taylor is known for. This model is ideal for fingerstyle players, light strummers, or anyone who wants a more expressive voice from their acoustic. It's part of Taylor's Gold Label Collection-a limited run of guitars inspired by traditional acoustic sounds and featuring some of Andy Powers' most thoughtful innovations to date.
With solid mahogany back and sides and a torrefied Sitka spruce top, you get that seasoned, broken-in feel right out of the case. The Super Auditorium body, slightly longer and wider than the Grand Auditorium, helps push more low end and volume while still keeping a balanced response across the register. The real magic is under the hood, though-Taylor's fanned V-Class bracing and Action Control Neck design bring out a bold, rounder tone and let you make setup tweaks without pulling the neck or strings.
Playability is where this one really shines. The neck feels fast and comfortable, the fretwork is top notch, and the overall build is rock solid. It's stage-ready thanks to the LR Baggs Element VTC pickup, and the design details, from the cream Crest inlays and the Firestripe pickguard to the "British Cocoa" hardshell case, give it a timeless, heritage-inspired look. We're big fans of this model; it offers something fresh and familiar all at once, and it's the kind of guitar you'll want to keep reaching for.
