Taylor Gold Label 512e Mahogany/Spruce Acoustic Electric Guitar - Natural

Compact Frame, Warm Tone, Classic Style - The Taylor Gold Label 512e Mahogany/Spruce Acoustic Electric Guitar in Natural

With its classic tonewood pairing, compact frame and throwback aesthetics, the Gold Label 512e is sure to impress players seeking a new flavor of old-soul tone. This comfortable and highly responsive Grand Concert boasts solid mahogany back and sides paired with a solid top of torrefied Sitka spruce, yielding a focused midrange voice with controlled overtones, a woody, dry character and a dash of aged-in sweetness from the specially roasted soundboard. A long-tenon Action Control Neck enhances overall resonance while making it easy to dial in the perfect feel in minutes, while the fanned V-Class bracing inside improves volume, sustain and low-end presence. Topped of with a natural gloss finish, the Gold Label 512e also sports cream-colored binding with matching Crest inlays, pickguard, and rosette trimmed with black, along with a suite of Honduran rosewood features including the fretboard, Curve Wing bridge and peghead veneer. It includes LR Baggs Element VTC electronics for rich plugged-in tone and ships with a deluxe hardshell case.
