The Ben Harper Gold Label 512e Special Edition blends compact comfort, warm solid wood tone, and neo-vintage styling in a collaboration model inspired by longtime Taylor artist Ben Harper.

Built with solid neo-tropical mahogany back and sides paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, this Grand Concert model delivers a warm, woody voice with strong midrange focus, articulate note separation, and impressive projection. The torrefied top adds a more aged-in tonal character with added sweetness and depth right out of the case.

Taylor’s fanned V-Class bracing with tonal rout architecture enhances sustain, low-end presence, and overall volume while maintaining clarity and balance across the fretboard.

The Grand Concert body shape offers a compact and comfortable feel that responds exceptionally well to fingerstyle playing while remaining versatile enough for strumming and hybrid styles.

The neo-tropical mahogany neck paired with a Honduran rosewood fretboard provides a smooth and responsive playing experience, while Taylor’s Action Control Neck system allows for easy micro-adjustability.

Equipped with the Claria Acoustic Pickup System, this model delivers a natural amplified tone with intuitive soundhole mounted controls suited for both stage and studio use.

Developed with Ben Harper, the visual design combines vintage inspired details with refined appointments, including:

• Golden-brown shaded edgeburst top
• Cream binding and matching rosette
• Honduran rosewood fretboard and peghead veneer
• Cream Crest inlays
• Cream/black pickguard
• Polished bronze tuning machines
• Bone bridge pins

Finished with a full gloss body and satin neck, the Ben Harper Gold Label 512e Special Edition offers a distinctive blend of warmth, comfort, and elegant craftsmanship.
