Introduce the stunning Taylor 517e Gold Top Acoustic-Electric Guitar from Taylor's coveted Gold Label Collection. This is more than just a new guitar; it's a meticulously crafted instrument designed to deliver the rich, old-school soul of a seasoned dreadnought with all the benefits of modern Taylor innovation.
The 517e Gold Top is built on the foundation of Taylor's acclaimed Grand Pacific body shape, a round-shoulder dreadnought engineered for warmth and a powerful low-end. The new Gold Label series takes this a step further with a slightly deeper body depth, increasing the guitar's "air volume" for enhanced resonance and a more commanding, resonant voice that fills the room.
Torrefied Sitka Spruce Top: The specially roasted Sitka spruce top has undergone a thermal aging process, giving the guitar a sweet, open, and responsive sound right out of the case. It feels and sounds like a vintage guitar that's been played for decades.
Solid Tropical Mahogany Body: Paired with a mahogany back and sides, the 517e Gold Top offers a dry, focused, and fundamental-rich tone with clear, punchy mids. It's the perfect choice for players who want a direct and articulate voice for blues, roots, and Americana music.
V-Class Bracing: Taylor’s revolutionary V-Class bracing delivers incredible volume, sustain, and near-perfect intonation across the fretboard. It's the engine behind the guitar's superior performance and a hallmark of Taylor's acoustic engineering.
Action Control Neck: This new neck design features a deep-set long-tenon joint, creating a more stable and resonant connection to the body. It not only enhances the guitar's low-end response and sustain but also allows for effortless action adjustments, making it incredibly easy to dial in your perfect setup.
Whether you're a performing artist, a studio musician, or a dedicated enthusiast, the Taylor 517e Gold Top is an acoustic guitar that will inspire you for years to come. Its unique sonic character, flawless playability, and stunning Gold Top finish make it a must-have for any serious collector or player.
