Taylor Gold Label 517e

The Taylor Gold Label 517e Acoustic-Electric Guitar delivers a bold new voice for players who crave warmth, power, and vintage-inspired tone with modern playability. Its torrefied Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides create a beautifully aged sound rich in midrange character, while the V-Class bracing system enhances sustain and clarity. With the LR Baggs Element VTC pickup for natural stage-ready tone and a luxurious British Cocoa Gold Label hardshell case, this Taylor Grand Pacific is a true performer’s dream—crafted for tone, comfort, and timeless appeal.
