With custom shaded edgeburst top and cream pickguard, this rather lovely Claria pickup equipped electro Taylor Ben Harper Gold Label 512e guitar has a lot to offer. We especially like the Honduran Rosewood fingerboard, Torrefied Sitka Spruce top, Bone bridge pins, and British Cocoa hardshell case. Designed with the Grammy winning roots music icon Ben Harper, this customized mahogany/torrefied spruce Gold Label Grand Concert has a slightly deeper body to provide the player a wonderful tone and plenty of individual personalised upscale specifications.

Why the Gold Label Grand Concert Was the Right Fit for Ben - After years of playing larger Taylor Dreadnought and Grand Pacific models, Ben was surprised by the warmth, power and responsiveness of this more compact Gold Label Grand Concert.

Takeaway: Ben’s Gold Label 512e model is a highly expressive instrument capable of delicate articulation and driving rhythmic work — ideal for his nuanced fingerstyle approach.

Bens sums up this new Taylor Ben Harper Gold Label 512e “Wow. This guitar should not be this loud or resonant.”

Read on to find out more about about Ben Harper - Three-time GRAMMY® Award winner Ben Harper is one of modern music’s most expressive roots-based songwriters, blending folk, blues, gospel, soul and rock. Over a 30+ year career, he has released 18 studio albums and collaborated with artists including Taj Mahal, Mavis Staples and Charlie Musselwhite. Raised in Southern California around his family’s Folk Music Center, Harper developed a deep connection to acoustic instruments, fingerstyle blues and slide guitar — shaping the touch-sensitive, rhythmically nuanced approach that defines his playing today.
