Taylor’s Gold Label Guitars Have Arrived — And You’ll Want to Hear Them

Something exciting just landed at Detroit Guitar: the new Taylor Gold Label acoustic guitars. These instruments are another step forward in Taylor’s evolution—offering vintage-inspired tone, stunning aesthetics, and next-level comfort. We currently have three incredible models in stock: the Taylor Gold Label 814e Koa Sunburst, 814e Koa Natural, and 814e Natural. If you’re a fan of Taylor’s craftsmanship but crave something with a warmer, more open voice, these guitars are definitely worth your time.

At the heart of the Gold Label series is Taylor’s all-new Super Auditorium body shape—a first for the brand. It’s slightly longer and a little wider than the familiar Grand Auditorium, and the result is a guitar that feels immediately familiar but sounds deeper, fuller, and more nuanced. Whether you’re strumming, flatpicking, or fingerpicking, the Super Auditorium delivers a rich, blooming tone that fills the room with ease.

Each of the Gold Label models features a torrefied Sitka spruce top, giving the guitar a seasoned, broken-in sound straight out of the case. The 814e Koa Sunburst and 814e Koa Natural pair that top with beautiful Hawaiian koa back and sides, which add shimmering highs and midrange complexity. The 814e Natural combines torrefied spruce with Honduran rosewood, known for its warmth, clarity, and rich overtones. No matter which model you choose, you're getting an expressive, dynamic tonewood pairing.

Inside, Taylor’s Fanned V-Class with Tonal Route bracing adds even more sustain, power, and clarity across the tonal spectrum. Combined with the new long-tenon neck joint, these guitars offer incredible resonance and pitch accuracy, while maintaining the signature smooth feel of Taylor’s patented neck design.

Visually, the Gold Label guitars stand out with Continental inlays, grained ivoroid binding, and antique chrome Gotoh 510 tuners with ebony buttons. They’re equipped with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics, so you’re ready for the stage or studio the moment you plug in. Each guitar also ships with a deluxe Taylor hardshell case in a British Cocoa finish—just another detail that sets these apart.

If you're searching for a Taylor acoustic guitar that blends modern playability with vintage acoustic tone, the Gold Label collection checks every box.
