Blending a comfortable frame, rich solid-wood tone and striking aesthetics, the Ben Harper Gold Label 512e Special Edition is a fitting tribute to its namesake, a longtime Taylor player and award-winning singer-songwriter. Proving again that the Gold Label Collection offers fertile ground for collaboration, this deeper-bodied Grand Concert acoustic-electric boasts back and sides of solid mahogany topped with torrefied spruce for an enticingly warm, woody midrange voice that combines a strong fundamental focus with pleasing articulation and impressive power across the frequency range. Inside, our fanned V-Class bracing dials up greater volume, sustain and low-end presence, while the roasting process for the spruce soundboard adds a touch of aged-in sweetness and depth. Along with the compact body shape, players will appreciate the easy microadjustability of the Action Control Neck as well as the adaptability of the Claria System electronics and their intuitive soundhole-mounted controls. Visual cues add up to a bold neo-vintage character, including a Honduran rosewood fretboard and peghead veneer, cream-colored binding and a matching rosette with black trim, a cream-colored pickguard, Crest inlays, polished bronze tuning machines, and bone bridge pins. Rounding out the package is a golden-brown shaded edgeburst top developed with Ben Harper himself, capped with a gloss finish for the top, back and sides. 

Features
Premium Craftsmanship Meets Award-Winning Artist Inspiration

This collaborative Gold Label model designed with singer-songwriter Ben Harper combines rich, warm midrange tone with classic visuals.

Grand Concert - A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.

Tropical Mahogany Body Wood - A midrange powerhouse. Mahogany is prized for balance and articulation, making it one of the best all-around tonewoods there is.

Action Control Neck - Building on Taylor’s legacy of easy-playing necks, the new Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon joint for added warmth and depth with a patented system for effortless string height adjustment.

Sitka Spruce Top Wood - The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.

Claria Pickup System Electronics - Developed with extensive input from touring artists and live sound engineers, Taylor’s new Claria System reimagines the under-saddle piezo pickup to deliver consistent plug-and-play acoustic tone in any setting.
