Overview:

Crafted with innovative new ideas to produce an older, vintage-inspired sound, the Gold Label 814e Koa-SB complements its sonic richness and complexity with a stylish sunburst finish. This model features our new Super Auditorium body shape, similar to our Grand Auditorium but with slightly wider contours that, along with a new fanned V-Class bracing variant, help it generate greater power while remaining focused and clear at any volume. Back and sides of beautifully figured Hawaiian koa combine with a specially roasted Sitka spruce top to yield a lush midrange character with remarkable low-end presence along with the boosts to volume and sustain that come with the V-Class architecture. Adding to the package of innovations is a new long-tenon neck joint that improves the transfer of vibration to boost resonance while also improving adjustability. Visually, the Gold Label 814e Koa-SB is dressed to impress with antique chrome Gotoh 510 tuners with ebony buttons, Continental inlays, a new pickguard design, grained ivoroid edge trim and a full-body gloss finish. This model includes LR Baggs Element VTC electronics for warm, balanced amplified sound and ships with a deluxe hardshell case featuring a British Cocoa exterior.
