This edition of our all-new Koa Gold Label 814e adds a lustrous finish to match its seasoned, heritage-style sound and lush overtones. Featuring the new Super Auditorium body shape, this model boasts back and sides of Hawaiian Koa, a torrefied Sitka spruce top and a fanned variant of our tone-boosting V-Class bracing architecture. The result is a sound with stunning warmth and richness, complemented with remarkable power and clarity even with the most aggressive attack. A new long-tenon neck joint improves sonic transfer for greater resonance while also offering even easier and more precise adjustability, letting you dial in the feel you need to sound your best. A suite of Continental inlays, grained ivoroid trim, a new pickguard, antique chrome Gotoh 510 tuners with ebony buttons, and a full-body gloss round out the package. This model includes LR Baggs Element VTC electronics with discrete soundhole-mounted controls, ensuring warm, rich sound when you need to plug in. The K14e Gold Label SB ships with a deluxe hardshell case featuring a stylish British Cocoa exterior.

Hawaiian Koa
Hawaiian koa is a fairly dense tropical hardwood with a strong midrange focus similar to mahogany but with an extra slice of top-end brightness and chime. The more you play a koa guitar, the more of the bass range will blossom and grow - with strong midrange overtones adding a sense of warmth and sweetness to its voice and an overall harmonic sophistication and complexity.
Torrefied Spruce
Treated with our special roasting process, torrefied spruce tops deliver all the clarity, balance and projection you’d expect from a traditional spruce top with an extra dash of warmth and played-in depth.
