Taylor Gold Label 517e | Natural

The Taylor Gold Label 517e Natural offers a deep, expansive voice with exceptional projection, delivering a traditional acoustic tone enriched by modern playability. Featuring solid mahogany back and sides paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, it produces a mature, played-in sound from the start. Its gloss-finish Grand Pacific body, slightly deeper than usual, emphasizes rich midrange and powerful low-end. The slender satin-finish neck ensures smooth playability, while fanned V-Class bracing enhances volume, sustain, and tonal clarity, making this guitar a refined choice for discerning players seeking warmth and depth.
