Taylor Ben Harper Gold Label 512e Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Spruce/Mahogany, Shaded Edgeburst

Blending a comfortable frame, rich solid-wood tone and striking aesthetics, the Ben Harper Gold Label 512e Special Edition is a fitting tribute to its namesake, a longtime Taylor player and award-winning singer-songwriter. Proving again that the Gold Label Collection offers fertile ground for collaboration, this deeper-bodied Grand Concert acoustic-electric boasts back and sides of solid mahogany topped with torrefied spruce for an enticingly warm, woody midrange voice that combines a strong fundamental focus with pleasing articulation and impressive power across the frequency range. Inside, our fanned V-Class bracing dials up greater volume, sustain and low-end presence, while the roasting process for the spruce soundboard adds a touch of aged-in sweetness and depth. Along with the compact body shape, players will appreciate the easy microadjustability of the Action Control Neck as well as the adaptability of the Claria System electronics and their intuitive soundhole-mounted controls. Visual cues add up to a bold neo-vintage character, including a Honduran rosewood fretboard and peghead veneer, cream-colored binding and a matching rosette with black trim, a cream-colored pickguard, Crest inlays, polished bronze tuning machines, and bone bridge pins. Rounding out the package is a golden-brown shaded edgeburst top developed with Ben Harper himself, capped with a gloss finish for the top, back and sides.
