With back and sides of solid mahogany paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, players can expect a woody sonic character with a strong emphasis on the fundamental note, keeping the overtones in check.

Appointments for the Gold Label 514e include cream-colored binding with matching Crest fretboard inlays and rosette, a firestripe pickguard, nickel tuning machines, Honduran rosewood bridge pins, and a natural gloss finish. It ships with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and a deluxe British Cocoa hardshell case.
