~Guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive~
Inspired by older, more traditional acoustic sound, Taylor’s Gold Label Collection reveals a rounder, warmer, more robust flavor of acoustic tone – a sound unlike anything Taylor has previously offered. Master builder Andy Powers’ sonic recipe for the collection includes three key innovations: new body shapes, a fanned variant of his V-Class bracing platform and a revolutionary long-tenon Action Control Neck joint.
Super Auditorium: Featuring a slightly longer bodyand wider lower bout than the iconic Grand Auditoriumbody shape, the non-cutaway Super Auditorium deliversa deep, open voice with exceptional warmth, power anddynamic range—while offering incredible musical versatility.Its responsive feel and focused clarity suit fingerstyle,light strumming and flatpicking alike.
Fanned V-Class® Bracing: Featuring a fan-like arrangement of braces in the soundboard’slower bout, this V-Class variant delivers on the original promise ofAndy Powers’ innovative sonic engine: a flexible voicing platformcapable of unlocking a bold new palette of sounds. In this case,it gives these Gold Label models a warmer, more resonant, morepowerful sound.
Action Control Neck®: This patented, groundbreaking design features a long-tenon neckjoint that extends deeper into the body, enhancing the woodcoupling to boost the low-end resonance, and a slim, fast-playingprofile that delivers signature Taylor playability. It also enablesquick, precise string height adjustments with a turn of a boltthrough the soundhole—no need to remove the neck or strings.
Heritage-Inspired Aesthetics: The collection’s decorative aesthetic draws inspirationfrom old banjos and mandolins, early Taylor designs, andAndy’s pre-Taylor design work on archtop guitars. Theguitars feature his modified headstock shape with an angledback cut and a script-style Taylor logo inlay, a differentpickguard shape, and a Gold Label guitar label inside.
Solid mahogany and torrefied Sitka spruce serve up a rich,earthy midrange character with a clear, woody response, powerfulprojection and hints of seasoned, aged-in sweetness right out ofthe box. Each model features a clean appointment scheme that fitsthe Gold Label Collection’s distinctive design aesthetic, includingcream-colored “Crest” inlays on the fretboard and peghead, creambody binding with black/white/black purfling, and a single-ringcream rosette with matching trim. Players can choose from threetop finish options: natural, blacktop or a golden-brown sunburst.
