Folk Electro Acoustic Guitar
Taylor's Gold Label 814e Koa SB is a guitar that doesn't just look good, it imposes its charisma with a Super Auditorium silhouette and an irresistible sunburst dress. Designed and manufactured in California, in El Cajon, it combines the elegance of Hawaiian koa and the warmth of roasted Sitka fir for a rich and deep tone. Its neo-tropical mahogany neck and African ebony fingerboard ensure uncompromising playability, while the LR Baggs Element VTC electronics sublimate its slightest vibrations. Protected by a Deluxe hardshell case, it promises a sensory journey between tradition and innovation.

Presentation
Behind its refined appearance, the Gold Label 814e Koa SB hides a sonic temperament worthy of the greatest. Its Super Auditorium format, larger than the Grand Auditorium, gives it a powerful and nuanced projection, making each chord vibrate with captivating harmonics. The marriage of Hawaiian koa and roasted Sitka fir infuses a depth that evolves over time, gaining in richness with each note played. Whether you brush the strings or attack vigorously, it responds with surprising clarity and breadth, thanks to its V-Class fan bracing.
If the sound is a promise kept, the playing comfort is not left out. Its neo-tropical mahogany neck, carefully profiled, offers a natural fluidity under the fingers. The African ebony fingerboard adds precious responsiveness, allowing expressive nuances without effort. Gotoh 510 antique chrome tuners with ebony buttons ensure exemplary stability, because a guitar of this caliber must be precise in every detail.
On the aesthetic side, Taylor has gone all out. The sunburst finish, combined with Continental inlays and grained ivoroid details, gives this 814e a vintage look without falling into pure nostalgia. Modern in its design, it nevertheless retains a timeless charm that suits lovers of tradition as well as fans of sonic innovation.
The integration of the LR Baggs Element VTC system completes the experience by faithfully amplifying the slightest variations in your playing. Capable of reproducing the subtlety of the woods with a natural warmth, it allows its unique character to resonate both on stage and in the privacy of a studio. A partner of choice for those who leave nothing to chance.
