Taylor Gold Label 517e Blacktop Grand Pacific Acoustic Electric Guitar

Taylor Gold Label 517e Blacktop Grand Pacific Acoustic Electric Guitar

Brand NEW guitar. Authorized Dealer!

Powerful vintage character and bold style

Dressed in a sleek black finish that commands attention on any stage, the Gold Label 517e Blacktop offers a bold flavor of traditional acoustic tone. This model features Taylor’s Grand Pacific body shape — a round-shoulder dreadnought variant that serves up remarkable warmth, low-end power, and an old-school acoustic response. Back and sides of solid mahogany paired with a torrefied spruce top deliver a focused, dry midrange voice, while the fanned V-Class bracing inside dials up volume and sustain. Blending signature Taylor playing comfort with effortless adjustability, our Action Control Neck improves tonal transfer, contributing to the rich, resonant sound of the 517e Blacktop. This model comes equipped with a Curve Wing bridge in Honduran rosewood, nickel tuning machines, LR Baggs Element VTC electronics, and a British Cocoa deluxe hardshell case.
