Taylor’s Ben Harper Gold Label 512e embodies the deep connection Ben conjures with his music, delivering a rich character, articulate response, and stage-ready versatility that mirror his unmistakable sound. With its shorter 24.875-inch scale and tapered waist, the Grand Concert was an ideal choice for Ben’s signature model. This 512e’s neotropical mahogany back and sides complement the design’s natural playability with tight, crisp overtones and a warm, punchy midrange, while a torrefied Sitka spruce top injects balance and fanned V-Class projection into the mix with traditional, pre-aged tonal appeal reminiscent of old-school flat-top instruments. Equipped with an Action Control Neck using Taylor’s long-tenon joint and a comfortable Standard neck carve, the Gold Label 512e plays like an absolute dream. And onstage, Taylor’s refined Claria electronics faithfully capture the guitar’s acoustic voice with plug-and-play simplicity, supported by soundhole-mounted Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour controls. Ben’s personal touches, including a cream\/black pickguard, a Shaded Edgeburst finish with cream double binding, and a Honduran rosewood fretboard, make this 512e unique among Taylor's Gold Label models.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"table__header\"\u003eString Type: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003eSteel\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"table__header\"\u003eNumber of Strings: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"table__header\"\u003eLeft-\/Right-handed: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003eRight-handed\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"table__header\"\u003eBody Shape: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"table__cell\"\u003eGrand Concert\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"table__row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"table__header\"\u003eBack \u0026amp;
