Featuring a golden-brown burst top, the Gold Label 517e SB exudes visual charm that reflects its heritage sonic personality. This reimagined Grand Pacific—updated with a greater body depth than our original round-shoulder dreadnought design—is a powerhouse acoustic-electric with exceptional low-end power. Solid mahogany back and sides are paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top for a woody, earthy voice with a thick midrange character. Our special soundboard roasting process contributes extra sweetness for a tone that’s even more reminiscent of older, played-in acoustics. Fanned V-Class interior bracing dials up extra volume and sustain while improving intonation along the entire fretboard. A slim, satin-finish Taylor neck boasts our patented long-tenon Action Control Neck™ joint, which allows for on-the-fly string height adjustments to suit your playing preferences. The long-tenon design enhances the wood coupling between the neck and body, translating into more low-end resonance and a deeper, warmer, more open sound. 

Showcasing the Gold Label Collection’s unique design details, this guitar features a modified headstock with an angled back cut and script-style Taylor logo inlay, and a cream-colored pickguard with a distinct shape. A firestripe pickguard is also available for this model. Its appointment package 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.
