Every so often a guitar comes along that makes you rethink what a modern acoustic can do, and the Taylor Gold Label 514e is exactly that kind of instrument. Designed by master luthier Andy Powers, the Gold Label Collection reaches back toward the warm, woody character of 1930s flattops while keeping all the playability and precision players expect from Taylor.
With a new Super Auditorium body, Fanned V-Class bracing, and a torrefied Sitka spruce top over solid mahogany, the 514e delivers a heritage tone that feels both familiar and brand new. It's a premium acoustic-electric built for players who want vintage soul without giving up modern performance.
The Super Auditorium is the heart of the Gold Label's fresh identity. Its proportions echo Taylor's beloved Grand Auditorium, but Andy stretched the body slightly longer and widened the lower bout, creating what he calls a "classically proportioned set of curves." That extra real estate translates into a fuller, more resonant voice with plenty of low-end depth.
Andy Powers set out to capture a sound from a generation before Taylor even existed — something closer to the traditional flattop tone of the 1930s. The result is warmer, rounder, and more characterful than you might expect from a Taylor, yet it still carries the volume, sustain, and clarity that V-Class made famous. It's the kind of tone that makes you want to keep playing long after you meant to stop.
A great acoustic deserves great amplification, and the 514e is ready to plug in whenever you are. The onboard LR Baggs Element VTC system captures the guitar's natural tone faithfully, so what you hear acoustically is what comes through the PA. Whether you're playing a quiet coffee shop or a full room, you'll have the control you need right at your fingertips.
The Taylor Gold Label 514e is more than just another acoustic-electric guitar — it’s a statement about Taylor's future. By combining a vintage-inspired voice with modern engineering, Andy Powers has crafted a guitar that feels rooted in tradition yet sounds entirely unique. For players seeking a warm, heritage tone with Taylor's renowned reliability and playability, the 514e is an exceptional choice. It ships with a case, making it ready for the studio, stage, and everywhere in between.
