Product Description
The Taylor Gold Label K14e in Natural pairs Taylor’s brand-new Super Auditorium body shape with exquisite Hawaiian koa and cutting-edge fanned V-Class bracing, delivering a voice that is powerful, focused and incredibly articulate. With a torrefied spruce top for a played-in warmth and LR Baggs Element VTC electronics for stage-ready performance, this is a premium acoustic for players who demand inspiring tone, effortless feel and boutique-level detail.
From the first strum, the K14e offers a striking blend of midrange sparkle, rich overtones and piano-like clarity across the neck. Neo-Tropical mahogany, West African Crelicam ebony and Honduran rosewood are brought together in a meticulously crafted instrument that feels luxurious in the hands yet responds instantly to the lightest touch. Whether you are recording, performing or simply playing for your own enjoyment, this Gold Label Taylor rewards every nuance of your technique.
Super Auditorium Body with Fanned V-Class Bracing
Taylor’s Super Auditorium body shape is a refined evolution of their iconic Grand Auditorium, voiced here with fanned V-Class bracing and a tonal rout for exceptional balance and projection. The result is a larger, more enveloping soundstage with impressive headroom, while retaining the comfort and versatility that Taylor fans love. Chords bloom with depth and definition, single notes cut through with focus, and the guitar stays in tune more consistently across the fretboard.
Hawaiian Koa Character with Torrefied Spruce Top
The torrefied spruce top brings the clarity, balance and projection of classic spruce, enhanced by a roasting process that adds warmth and a broken-in sweetness from day one. Paired with Hawaiian koa back and sides, you get a gorgeous blend of shimmering midrange, tight low end and complex overtones that become even more expressive the more you play. It is a highly responsive, musical voice that suits fingerstyle, flatpicking and strumming alike.
Premium Neck and Playability
A Neo-Tropical mahogany neck with a standard carve profile and West African Crelicam ebony fretboard delivers the fast, comfortable feel that Taylor are renowned for. The 25.5 inch scale length and 1.75 inch nut width provide ample room for intricate chord voicings and fingerstyle work, while the satin neck finish keeps everything feeling smooth and effortless. Mother-of-pearl Continental inlays and ebony binding add a refined, boutique aesthetic without getting in the way of playability.
Stage-Ready LR Baggs Element VTC Electronics
Equipped with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics, this K14e is ready for any live or studio situation. The undersaddle pickup senses the movement of the guitar’s top rather than just string vibration, capturing a warm, detailed and natural acoustic tone. Subtle onboard controls allow you to shape your sound without compromising the guitar’s elegant appearance, making it easy to move from sofa to stage with complete confidence.
Features
- Super Auditorium Body Shape - Taylor’s new Super Auditorium design refines the classic Grand Auditorium into a more powerful, enveloping voice while remaining comfortable to hold. It offers impressive projection and balance, making it equally at home for fingerstyle, strumming and flatpicking.

- LR Baggs Element VTC Electronics - The LR Baggs Element VTC system captures the movement of the soundboard for a warm, detailed and natural amplified tone. It is ideal for live performance and recording, giving you a consistent, controllable sound that still feels authentically acoustic.
