We've got a great range in stock, ready for you to find your new favourite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeaturing a bold black soundboard finish, the Gold Label 517e Blacktop is a confident, road-ready powerhouse. Blending heritage aesthetics and a warm, muscular acoustic voice with old-school character, this model expands the Gold Label Collection in an inspiring new direction. Boasting a slightly deeper body than our original round-shoulder dreadnought design, this Grand Pacific produces extraordinary low-end power and projection. Solid mahogany back and sides are paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top in a gloss-finish body, a time-tested tonewood pairing that serves up a woody, earthy voice with a thick midrange character. Our special soundboard roasting process contributes extra sweetness for a sound that’s even more reminiscent of older, more played-in acoustics. Inside, fanned V-Class bracing boosts volume, lengthens sustain and improves intonation along the entire fretboard. A long-tenon Action Control Neck™ joint enhances the connection between neck and body for enhanced tonal transfer while enabling easy and precise adjustments to string height for optimal playability in any scenario. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\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.

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\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"right-side\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-name\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrand Pacific\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis round-shoulder dreadnought delivers a new flavor of warm, rich Taylor tone.\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorguitars.com\/guitars\/acoustic\/features\/grand-pacific\" aria-label=\"Learn More\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"right-side\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-name\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTropical Mahogany\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA midrange powerhouse.
