Overview
The Gold Label 512e Grand Concert brings Andy Powers' heritage-inspired Gold Label voicing to Taylor's most intimate body shape, reimagined for greater warmth and depth. Designed to evoke the dry, woody character of vintage flattop guitars, the 512e pairs a torrefied Sitka spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides for a focused midrange response, controlled overtones, and a subtly aged sweetness straight out of the case.
A slightly deeper Grand Concert body boosts air resonance, adding surprising low end presence while preserving the comfort, balance, and sensitivity finger-style players love. Inside, Fanned V-Class bracing enhances sustain, projection, and note blending for a rich, unified voice across the strings. Taylor's long tenon Action Control Neck improves tonal transfer and allows quick, precise setup adjustments without removing the neck.
Finished in a natural gloss with cream binding and Crest inlays, the Gold Label 512e delivers a refined, vintage leaning aesthetic to match its old-soul sound. LR Baggs Element VTC electronics provide clear, natural amplification, and each guitar ships in a deluxe hardshell case.
