The New Taylor Gold Label Arrivals

Taylor Gold Label 514e Blacktop
The 514e Blacktop blends solid mahogany back and sides with a torrefied Sitka spruce top for a sound that’s warm and woody, with seasoned clarity right out of the case. Visuals are equally striking: a gloss Blacktop finish is complemented by cream “Crest” inlays, cream binding with black/white/black purfling, and a single-ring cream rosette. Satin mahogany neck, West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard, Honduran rosewood “Curve Wing” bridge, V-Class bracing, and the LR Baggs Element VTC pickup system complete the package.

Taylor Gold Label 717e Sunburst
Built for players who want dynamic range and rich overtones, the 717e pairs solid Indian rosewood back and sides with a torrefied Sitka spruce top. The result: big lows, shimmering highs, and beautifully blooming harmonics. A gloss Sunburst finish highlights classic Gold Label details like cream “Crest” inlays, cream binding, and a single-ring rosette. It also features a satin mahogany neck, West African Crelicam ebony fretboard, Curve Wing bridge, and LR Baggs Element VTC system with Fanned V-Class bracing for both power and articulation.

Taylor Gold Label 817e Natural
If tone with depth and refinement is your priority, the 817e Natural is a standout. Solid Indian rosewood back and sides meet a torrefied Sitka spruce top for rich bass presence, warm mids, and a full, old-soul voice. A natural gloss finish lets the tonewoods shine, complemented by elegant “Continental” mother-of-pearl inlays, a dual-layer faux tortoise and ivoroid pickguard, elaborate purfling, ebony binding, and a paua rosette. Inside, you’ll find V-Class bracing, a satin mahogany neck, premium tuning machines, and the LR Baggs Element VTC system.

Taylor Gold Label 817e Sunburst
Sharing the same tonal core as the Natural 817e, the 817e Sunburst adds visual drama with a gloss Sunburst finish. Expect blooming, harmonically rich sound with strong low-end presence and superb clarity across the register. This model carries all the signature Gold Label touches: “Continental” inlays, ornate pickguard, detailed body and soundhole binding, and refined purfling. Whether you’re finger-style, flat-picking, or just chasing tone with personality, this guitar looks and sounds like a centerpiece.
