Blending a responsive feel with a, warm, seasoned sound, the Gold Label 712e adds an alluring new flavor of tone to our collection of heritage-inspired acoustic guitars. This compact Grand Concert features slightly increased body depth in a frame that remains accommodating for players of all statures, combining Indian rosewood back and sides with a torrefied Sitka spruce top for a dynamic, versatile voice that responds to an array of playing styles. Fingerstyle players will appreciate the top-end clarity and sparkle of that tonewood pairing, while flatpickers and strummers will love its rich low-end presence and blooming harmonic character. The fanned V-Class bracing inside provides a boost to volume, sustain and resonance across the frequency spectrum, while the slender Action Control Neck and its long-tenon joint enhance both warmth and microadjustability. Other details for this model reflect its throwback character, including cream-colored binding with a matching rosette trimmed in black, Crest inlays, a Honduran rosewood Curve Wing bridge, and a natural glossy finish. It includes LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and ships in a deluxe British Cocoa hardshell case.

I purchsed this Taylor 712e from Alamo Music in San Antonio in March 2026, six months ago. It is in like-new pristine condition. I just realize that I favor the dreadnaught body style. I have two dreadnaughts and I just don’t play this guitar enough to warrant keeping it. She deserves a home with a finger picker who would love and care for her.

I am including a video of me playing this guitar.
