Description
The Taylor 714e Gold Label Super Auditorium in Natural is built for players chasing that classic rosewood voice, rich lows, chimey highs, and lush overtones, but with a warmer, more traditional character than what you'd typically expect from Taylor. It's a perfect fit for intermediate to pro-level players who want something nuanced and expressive for both fingerstyle and flatpicking. Like the rest of the Gold Label Collection, this guitar pulls from heritage design and tone philosophies while integrating modern build innovations.
Here you've got a solid Indian rosewood back and sides with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, a tonewood pairing known for power and detail. The Super Auditorium body shape adds some extra depth and projection compared to a standard Grand Auditorium, while still keeping things articulate. The fanned V-Class bracing underneath gives this one a big, open voice with improved sustain and low-end warmth. With the Action Control Neck, any necessary setup tweaks are easy and tool-free, just a turn inside the soundhole.
Playability is what you'd expect from Taylor: smooth, fast, and forgiving across the board. The firestripe pickguard, cream "Crest" inlays, and understated natural gloss finish give it a vintage-cool look without going over the top. Add the LR Baggs Element VTC system and you've got a rock-solid acoustic-electric that's ready for the stage. We really like how this model brings together bold tone and familiar comfort; it's one of those guitars you keep coming back to.
