This Special Edition from the Gold Label Collection combines a compact body with a surprisingly mature sound character and a distinct neo-vintage look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"552\" data-end=\"955\"\u003eThe foundation of this guitar is a solid mahogany body, combined with a torrefied Sitka spruce top. This “aged” top immediately provides a played-in, warm sound with great depth and character. The result is a rich mid-range with clear articulation and powerful projection – remarkable for the compact Grand Concert size. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"957\" data-end=\"1188\"\u003eThanks to its deeper body and Taylor’s fanned V-Class bracing, this 512e delivers extra volume, sustain, and a solid low end, without losing the balance and control for which the model is known. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1190\" data-end=\"1481\"\u003eIn terms of playability, this guitar is excellent: the comfortable Grand Concert body fits nicely in the hand and is ideal for fingerstyle, while the redesigned Action Control Neck ensures a smooth playing feel and easy action adjustment. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1483\" data-end=\"1776\"\u003eVisually, this is also a striking appearance.
