Combining striking looks with a warm, heritage-inspired voice, the Gold Label 514e SB offers fresh musical possibilities for players of all styles. This non-cutaway Super Auditorium acoustic-electric features back and sides of solid mahogany, a torrefied Sitka spruce top and a fanned variant of Taylor's tone-enhancing V-Class bracing, adding up to a woody, rich midrange character that blends power with old-school vibes. Players will notice a dry, focused sonic quality as well as a dash of aged-in depth and sweetness thanks to Taylor's proprietary roasting process for the soundboard. As a Gold Label model, this Super Auditorium also features their new Action Control Neck, which incorporates a long-tenon joint for improved resonance and quick, easy adjustability to string height. Visual cues include cream-colored binding with matching Crest fretboard inlays and rosette, a firestripe pickguard, nickel tuning machines, a Curve Wing bridge in Honduran rosewood with matching pins, and a sunburst top treatment with a full-body gloss finish. It ships with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and a deluxe hardshell case with a British Cocoa exterior.
