Taylor Taylor Gold Label 512e Grand Concert - Mahogany / Torrefied Sitka Spruce
Description
Taylor Gold Label 512e: Old-Soul Tone in a Modern, Deep-Body Design The Gold Label 512e reimagines Taylor’s most comfortable body style with a heritage-inspired voicing that delivers surprising warmth and low-end power. By increasing the body depth of the Grand Concert frame, Taylor has created a "Deep Body" GC that sonically punches well above its size, offering the woody midrange and focused clarity of mahogany with a newfound foundational richness. Torrefied Resonance & Fanned V-Class Bracing At the heart of the 512e is the classic pairing of solid Neo-Tropical Mahogany and a torrefied Sitka Spruce top. The roasting process (torrefaction) mimics the cellular changes of wood aged for decades, providing a seasoned, "broken-in" sweetness from the first strum. This is further refined by Taylor’s new Fanned V-Class Bracing, voiced specifically for this deeper body to provide rich sustain, enhanced projection, and a perfectly blended note-to-note response. Revolutionary Playability: The Action Control Neck™ This model features the debut of the Action Control Neck, a long-tenon joint system that improves tonal transfer while allowing players to micro-adjust their string height through the soundhole. Whether you need a low, fast action for fingerstyle or a higher setup for aggressive strumming, you can dial in the perfect feel in minutes without a trip to the luthier.
