Taylor Guitars 514e Gold Label Acoustic Electric Guitar (Natural) inc Case

The Taylor 514e represents the Grand Auditorium body shape in the company's 500 Series, featuring a solid mahogany back and sides paired with a solid Sitka spruce top. This Gold Label edition includes Taylor's Expression System 2 pickup system, designed to capture the guitar's natural acoustic voice without requiring sound-hole modification. The mahogany and spruce combination delivers warmth and balanced response across the frequency spectrum, with the Grand Auditorium profile offering comfort and projection for fingerstyle and strummed approaches alike. The ES2 pickup uses three uniquely positioned sensors behind the saddle to read string vibration rather than body sound, minimising feedback issues and providing transparent amplified tone. The mahogany neck features a tropical ebony fingerboard with 20 frets and Taylor's standard 25.5-inch scale length. Venetian cutaway access extends playing range to the upper register, while the hand-fitted dovetail neck joint contributes to sustain and resonance transfer. Natural gloss finish highlights the mahogany grain, and the included hardshell case provides fitted protection for transport and storage.
