Introducing the gold label collection of guitars from master guitar designer Andy Powers. With Taylor’s new Gold Label Collection, Andy has pushed into new sonic terrain for Taylor — inspired by an older, more traditional sound. The guitars in the collection combine several new design elements that contribute to the sound — a new Grand Pacific body style, a unique V-Class-inspired bracing pattern, and a new long tenon neck joint — plus a new decorative aesthetic. The Gold Label Collection is continuing with a premium-performance offering within the Taylor lineup but with a unique design identity. The collection continues with the Honduran Rosewood model with natural top and sunburst top.
Andy wanted a warmer, older, “heritage” sound — something from more than a generation earlier than when Taylor Guitars was founded (1974); more reminiscent of traditional flattop tone from the 1930s — but with the established benefits of V-Class including improved volume, sustain, responsiveness and pitch accuracy between notes.
This new sonic recipe features changes in body shape and bracing patterns. The proportions are similar to the other Gold Label Grand Pacific models. New Fanned V-Class bracing. This V-Class variant features a fan-like arrangement of braces in the soundboard’s lower bout. They are also set in place using traditional hot hide glue. The sonic result is a bold low end bass response, sparkling high end, and a rich midrange that will redefine the sonic possibilities from this amazing new model.
