Taylor Taylor Ben Harper Gold Label 512e Special Edition - Mahogany / Torrefied Sitka Spruce

Description

Taylor Ben Harper Gold Label 512e: A Soulful, Touch-Responsive Collaboration Designed in close partnership with three-time GRAMMY® winner Ben Harper, this Special Edition 512e is more than just a signature model—it is a purpose-built tool for the expressive, nuanced player. Utilizing the new, deeper Grand Concert body shape, this guitar delivers a surprisingly authoritative low-end and a warm, woody midrange that belies its compact, comfortable frame. Exotic Material Choices & Enhanced Resonance The foundation is a classic pairing of solid Neo-Tropical Mahogany and a torrefied Sitka Spruce top. However, the Ben Harper edition introduces Honduran Rosewood for the fretboard and bridge. This specific material choice provides a more direct, lively response to the player’s touch, allowing every subtle shift in dynamics to bloom through the Fanned V-Class bracing. The "Shaded Edgeburst" finish, developed specifically with Harper, adds a bold, neo-vintage aesthetic that matches its heritage-inspired voice. The Claria™ System & Modern Versatility For the performing artist, the 512e SE features the Claria™ Acoustic Pickup System. This system is designed to translate the guitar’s natural acoustic intimacy to the stage with stunning accuracy, featuring a mid-contour control for effortless tone shaping. Combined with the Action Control Neck™ for instant, soundhole-accessible setup adjustments, this is an instrument built to perform in any environment.
