Ben Harper Gold Label 512e Special Edition
The Taylor Ben Harper Gold Label impresses with a solid mahogany back and sides and a torrefied, solid spruce top.

Thanks to the special V-Class bracing inside, volume, sustain, and low-frequency presence are further enhanced.

The Taylor Claria System with soundhole-mounted controls delivers the best sound instantly in every playing situation and makes plug-and-play a breeze.
Warm, Classic Design
The design of the 512e is clean and cohesive. It features a Honduran rosewood fingerboard and headstock, complemented by cream binding and a black-trimmed rosette.
Golden Brown
This understated look is rounded out by a matching cream pickguard, bronze tuners, and bone bridge pins. Visually, the standout feature is the golden-brown edgeburst top, which is finished, along with the body, in a sleek, high-gloss polish for a refined appearance.
You would expect a responsive, warm, articulate tone from Ben Harper, and it sounds like Taylor has delivered just that for this model. A great-looking guitar with some nice specifications all around. It looks classic and a little understated, in a good way.
