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. Showcasing 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. Exuding the classic styling of mid-20th-century acoustics, it features a cream-colored pickguard with a distinct shape that contrasts stylishly with its blacktop finish. 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\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;\"\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eNumber of Strings 6 String\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOrientation Right Handed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBody Shape Grand Pacific\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBracing System Fanned V-Class with Tonal Rout\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eColor Natural Back\/Sides, Black Top\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eElectronics LR Baggs - Element VTC\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCase\/Bag Gold Label Hardshell Case British Cocoa\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTop Wood Sitka Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBack\/Side Wood Neo-Tropical Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRosette Cream (.075\")\/.032\" Black\/Cream (.075\") Single Ring\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBack Configuration 2-piece No Wedge\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBody Binding Cream\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eArmrest None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTop Finish Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBack\/Side Finish Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck Wood Neo-Tropical Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFretboard Wood West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck Profile Standard Carve\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFretboard Inlay Cream Crest\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFretboard Binding West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck Finish Satin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNut Width 1-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePeghead Veneer Wood West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eScale Length 25-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePeghead Inlay Cream Crest\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePeghead Type Paddle\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePeghead Binding None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePeghead Finish Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBridge Honduran Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle White TUSQ Nut, White Micarta Saddle\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBridge Pins Indian Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrings D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light (.012 - .053)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePickguard Cream\/Black\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTuners Taylor Nickel with Nickel Buttons\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrap Pin Black\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnd Pin Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48304205496512,"sku":"517EBT","price":2799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/4002\/9888\/files\/gold-label-517e-blacktop-acoustic-electric-guitar-edmond-music-okc-1__31018.1767979674.1280.1280.png?v=1779236817","url":"https:\/\/oklahomamusicco.com\/products\/taylor-gold-label-517e-blacktop-mahogany-torrefied-sitka-acoustic-electric-guitar","provider":"Oklahoma Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
