Taylor’s Gold Label series takes a deliberate step into dreadnought territory with the 710e, applying the brand’s modern acoustic thinking to one of the most enduring guitar designs ever created. Built around a deep-body dreadnought platform, the Gold Label 710e blends vintage-inspired voice with contemporary control, beginning with a torrefied Sitka spruce top that delivers warm, seasoned response from the first note. East Indian rosewood back and sides add depth and harmonic complexity, while Taylor’s fanned V-Class bracing and long-tenon Action Control neck shape a sound that is powerful, balanced and remarkably composed. A Genuine West African ebony fingerboard ensures smooth, confident playability, and LR Baggs Element VTC electronics make the instrument equally ready for stage or studio use.
Deep-Body Dreadnought and Fanned V-Class Bracing for Focused Power
The Gold Label 710e’s deep-body dreadnought design produces a broad, authoritative voice with strong low-end presence and room-filling projection. Taylor’s fanned V-Class bracing allows the soundboard to move efficiently, increasing sustain and volume while maintaining clarity across the frequency range. Bass response remains supportive rather than overpowering, and treble notes retain warmth and definition, creating a dreadnought sound that feels expansive yet controlled. The result is a voice well suited for leading an ensemble, supporting vocals or delivering articulate solo passages.
Torrefied Sitka Spruce and East Indian Rosewood for Clarity and Complexity
The torrefied Sitka spruce top gives the 710e a mature, responsive character, enhancing dynamic range and allowing notes to bloom with ease. East Indian rosewood back and sides contribute a wide tonal spectrum, adding richness in the lows, shimmer in the highs, and layered harmonic detail through the midrange. Together, these tonewoods produce a sound that is powerful without excess, rewarding both a light touch and a more assertive playing style with depth, sustain and balance.
Long-Tenon Action Control Neck and Refined Appointments
Taylor’s long-tenon Action Control neck strengthens the neck-to-body connection, improving resonance while allowing precise string-height adjustments without removing the neck or strings. A Genuine West African ebony fingerboard offers a smooth, responsive playing surface that supports fluid fretting and confident articulation. The Honduran rosewood Curve Wing bridge maximizes energy transfer, while Taylor nickel tuners provide stable, reliable tuning. Crest inlays, cream binding and a sleek gloss finish complete an instrument that feels composed and intentional in both form and function.
LR Baggs Element VTC Electronics for Natural Amplified Tone
LR Baggs Element VTC electronics translate the Gold Label 710e’s acoustic voice with clarity and restraint. The undersaddle pickup preserves dynamic response and note definition, while discreet volume and tone controls allow quick adjustments without disrupting performance. Whether used on stage or in the studio, the system delivers a natural, balanced amplified sound that stays true to the instrument’s character.
The Gold Label 710e: A Measured Expansion of the Gold Label Vision
