Taylor introduces brand new Gold Label collection

Different wood combinations

The Gold Label Collection has been introduced as a premium-performance offering within Taylor's lineup, but with a unique identity in design. This collection is launched with two core models in different wood combinations. The first consists of Honduran rosewood with Sitka spruce, and the second features Hawaiian koa with spruce. You can choose a natural or sunburst top.

New Auditorium

One thing that sets this collection apart is the new Super Auditorium. The proportions are similar to the Grand Auditorium, but the body is slightly longer and wider. The neck joint is also new. This is an improved joint that translates into low-end resonance.

Developed sound

All in all, these guitars have a louder, fuller, deeper and more open sound. High notes are heavier, warmer, woodier and more rounded. The overall tone is robust and strong. At the same time, these models are capable of producing full tones after a light touch. ‘The louder you play, the louder the guitar gets, but it starts to naturally compress the sound into a more controlled and focused tone. If you play a simple note softly, the guitar naturally amplifies it with surprising warmth and volume,’ said Andy Powers, Taylor's chief designer.

Striking design

With the intention of making these guitars stand out completely, Taylor has made the design visibly different from other collections. Inspired by the looks of several other instruments, such as classic banjos and mandolins, this look was created. So it has a new headstock, slightly different logo design, elegant curve wing on the bridge, bridge pins made of bone and a specially designed label.

These models share the same name as the 800 Series, and have a price range similar to Builder's Edition 814ce models.
