Taylor Gold Label 517E Sunburst with Cream Pickguard Electric Acoustic

Andy Powers has reimagined his Grand Pacific shape with a deeper-bodied design for the Gold Label Collection — it’s 3/8-inch deeper (5-inch body depth at the soundhole). The extra depth gives the guitar extra “lung capacity” and a deeper resonant frequency. This translates into more low-end expansiveness, power and projection, the guitar has more sonic push toward an audience or a microphone, yet with pleasing musical clarity. Even the treble notes have enhanced warmth and depth. Compared to the Gold Label Super Auditorium, the curves and depth of the Grand Pacific produce even more volume and tonal depth. Its voice is earthy, honest and uncomplicated — like sonic comfort food. A reliable acoustic workhorse — both seasoned and soulful.
