A "Gold Label" edition that enhances the DNA of the 814e
Designed as a high-end interpretation of the iconic 814e, this Gold Label edition focuses on premium craftsmanship and refined finishes. The combination of a torrefied Sitka spruce top, very dense Honduran rosewood, and an optimized V-Class bracing places this model at the pinnacle of the 800 family, featuring a natural gloss finish and "Continental" inlays that mark its elegance.
For whom and for which styles?
Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists, the Gold Label 814e shines equally in fingerstyle and energetic strumming. Its quick response and great clarity make it a perfect companion for stage and studio, in folk, pop, country, acoustic rock, and demanding voice-guitar accompaniment repertoires.
Sound
The torrefied Sitka spruce top provides projection, fast attack, and a "vintage" roundness. The Honduran rosewood delivers deep lows, silky mids, and crisp highs, with a rich and singing harmonic spectrum. The optimized V-Class bracing increases sustain and intonation, offering power and clarity even under strong attack. The "Super Auditorium" body balances comfort and volume, with broad dispersion and excellent note-to-note definition.
Recommended compatible accessories
Supplied with its deluxe case, this model readily accepts a Light .012-.053 phosphor bronze string set (factory installed) to preserve its balance and projection. A 6-string acoustic guitar capo with uniform pressure and a case humidifier will help maintain stability and intonation season after season.
