Description
The Taylor 514e Gold Label Super Auditorium in Sunburst is a standout for players who want warmth, power, and rich tonal nuance, all wrapped in a vintage-inspired aesthetic. It's a great fit for intermediate to advanced acoustic players, especially those who lean into fingerstyle or light strumming but still want a guitar that can handle a dynamic set. This sunburst version brings even more character visually to what's already a deeply musical instrument from Taylor's Gold Label Collection.
This model features a torrefied Sitka spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides, giving you a responsive, woody tone with an aged-in feel right out of the box. The slightly oversized Super Auditorium body projects more low end while keeping that Taylor balance and articulation. Under the hood, Andy Powers' fanned V-Class bracing expands the voice, delivering more resonance and warmth. The Action Control Neck makes it easy to dial in your setup without any major teardown-just a quick turn through the soundhole.
Playability is effortless, and the neck profile is slim and smooth, so it feels familiar even if you're moving between different styles. The onboard LR Baggs Element VTC electronics give you a reliable and natural-sounding pickup for the stage or studio. From the firestripe pickguard to the clean cream inlays and sunburst finish, this guitar has a refined, heritage-inspired look that feels just right. We're proud to have this one in the shop; it offers something different for players chasing that traditional voice with modern playability.
