Taylor Gold Label 514e Blacktop Acoustic Guitar

The Gold Label 514e Blacktop acoustic-electric guitar features the slightly larger dimensions of the Super Auditorium body, a new take on Taylor's signature Grand Auditorium shape. This model is crafted with a solid tropical mahogany back and sides, paired with a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top, all anchored by Taylor's innovative fanned V-Class bracing with Tonal Rout.

The result is a warm, powerful acoustic voice with remarkable sonic depth. You'll hear a woody, dry tone characterized by a rumbling low-end, clear power, and superb sustain in the midrange, emphasizing a strong fundamental focus with controlled overtones.

Visually, the guitar makes a striking statement, featuring a bold black top finish contrasted by cream-colored accents, including the Crest fretboard inlays, rosette, binding, and pickguard. It features a full-body gloss finish, a Neo-Tropical Mahogany neck with an Action Control Neck design for effortless string height adjustment, and a Honduran rosewood Curve Wing bridge.

Ready for the stage, the 514e Blacktop is equipped with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics for warm, authentic plugged-in tone. The guitar comes complete with a protective and durable deluxe hardshell case in a distinctive British Cocoa exterior.
