Taylor Gold Label 517e Acoustic Electric Guitar w/Case

The Taylor Gold Label 517e delivers a deep, expansive voice with extraordinary projection, blending vintage-inspired acoustic character with modern Taylor playability. Designed to capture an older, more traditional sound, this Grand Pacific model offers rich midrange warmth, clear woody response, and powerful low-end depth thanks to its slightly deeper round-shoulder dreadnought body.

Built with solid neo-tropical mahogany back and sides and a torrefied Sitka spruce top, the 517e produces a mature, played-in tone straight out of the case. Inside, fanned V-Class bracing with tonal rout boosts volume, sustain, and intonation, while Taylor’s innovative Action Control Neck™ enhances resonance and allows precise, easy string height adjustment. Finished with tasteful Gold Label detailing and equipped with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics, this guitar is equally suited to studio, stage, or serious home playing.
