Product Description
With its deep, expansive voice and extraordinary projection, the Gold Label 517e adds a powerful new dimension to the Gold Label Collection. Designed to produce an older, more traditional acoustic sound, this model blends warm, old-school tone with modern playability. Crafted with solid mahogany back and sides and a natural torrefied Sitka spruce top for a mature, played-in sound from day one, this gloss-finish Grand Pacific model offers a rich midrange character with a clear, woody response.
Key Features
- Grand Pacific - This round-shoulder dreadnought delivers a new flavor of warm, rich Taylor tone.
- Tropical Mahogany - A midrange powerhouse. Mahogany is prized for balance and articulation, making it one of the best all-around tonewoods there is.
- Action Control Neck - Building on Taylor’s legacy of easy-playing necks, the new Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon joint for added warmth and depth with a patented system for effortless string height adjustment.
- Sitka Spruce - The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
- LR Baggs-Element VTC - This undersaddle pickup channels tone from the movement of a guitar’s top, delivering a remarkably warm, detailed sound in Gold Label and Legacy Collection guitars.
Taylor's Round-Shoulder Dreadnought Body
Taylor's round-shoulder dreadnought shape—updated here with a slightly deeper body—delivers incredible low-end power while a slender, satin-finish Taylor neck provides smooth playability. Inside, fanned V-Class bracing boosts volume, lengthens sustain and improves intonation along the entire fretboard. Taylor's patented long-tenon Action Control Neck™ joint enhances the wood coupling between neck and body to boost low-end resonance while enabling easy and precise adjustments to string height.
Gold Label Collection
Showcasing the Gold Label Collection’s unique design details, this model features a modified headstock with an angled back cut and script-style Taylor logo inlay and a firestripe pickguard with a distinct shape. The appointment package also includes a Honduran rosewood Curve Wing bridge with Indian rosewood bridge pins, cream-colored Crest inlays on the fretboard and peghead, cream body binding, and a cream single-ring rosette. Outfitted with Taylor nickel tuners and LR Baggs Element VTC electronics, the Gold Label 517e ships in a British Cocoa deluxe hardshell case.
