This edition of our all-new Gold Label 814e adds a lustrous sunburst 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 Honduran rosewood, 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 Gold Label 814e SB ships with a deluxe hardshell case featuring a stylish British Cocoa exterior.
