From Taylor:

"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. Our 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. 

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 fire stripe 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."

Natural, Gloss, Modified Grand Pacific body shape, Torrefied Sitka Spruce top, Cream Black/Cream Single Ring Rosette, Fanned V-Class Bracing with Tonal Route, Neo-Tropical Mahogany back and sides, Long-Tenon neck joint, Cream body binding, West African Crelicam Ebony fingerboard and binding with the Cream Crest inlays on a Neo-Tropical Mahogany neck, Honduran Rosewood bridge, 25.5” scale length, 1 3/4” nut width, Taylor nickel tuners with nickel buttons, With the LR Baggs Element VTC pickup system and hardshell case

I bought this thinking I wanted to try a mahogany Dread. However, I think the brightness and overtones of Rosewood is more my style.
