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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShowcasing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSerial #: 1207216053\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTop Material: Torrefied Spruce\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBack and Side Material: Mahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeck Material: Mahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFingerboard Material: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTuning Machines: Taylor Nickel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNut Width: 1-3\/4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScale Length: 25-1\/2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBracing: Fanned V-Class\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBridge: Honduran Rosewood \"Curve Wing\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBridge Pins: Indian Rosewood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNut: TUSQ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSaddle: Micarta\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinish: Gloss Body, Satin Neck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElectronics: LR Baggs Element VTC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePickguard: Firestripe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStrings: D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCase: Taylor Deluxe Hardshell, \"British Cocoa\" Vinyl Exterior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive.
