Taylor Gold Label 510e Acoustic Electric Guitar - Natural

Acoustic-electric Guitar with Spruce Top, Mahogany Back and Sides, Mahogany Neck, and Ebony Fingerboard - Natural

Sadek Music, the Taylor Gold Label 510e stands as a tribute to the 20th century’s golden age of steel-string innovation, reimagining the timeless square-shouldered dreadnought with a refined blend of vintage character and modern performance. Dreadnoughts have reigned for nearly a century as the world’s most popular acoustic guitar shape, prized for their commanding low-end response and exceptional projection. The Gold Label 510e builds on that legacy with neotropical mahogany back and sides, delivering resounding depth, warmth, and a rich, full-bodied tonal foundation. A torrefied Sitka spruce top adds balance and pre-aged tonal character while working in harmony with fanned V-Class bracing to enhance volume, sustain, and clarity—evoking the voice of classic flat-top acoustics from decades past. Playability is equally impressive thanks to Taylor’s Action Control Neck, which incorporates a long-tenon neck joint and a comfortable Standard neck carve for effortless feel across the fingerboard. For live performance and studio work, LR Baggs Element VTC electronics faithfully capture the guitar’s natural acoustic voice with remarkable accuracy. A suite of vintage-inspired finishing touches completes the experience, including a Firestripe pickguard, cream double binding and inlays, nickel tuners, and a refreshed Gold Label headstock shape with logo inlay—all coming together to give the Taylor Gold Label 510e the unmistakable charm of a bygone era, available now at Sadek Music.

Tones of torrefied Sitka spruce and mahogany

Targeting a well-rounded and traditional sonic combination, Taylor has treated the Gold Label 510e to one of the finest tonewood pairings available: torrefied Sitka spruce and neotropical mahogany. Standard Sitka spruce is already praised by most acoustic players here as one of the most balanced, articulate, and accommodating top woods you could ask for. Factor in Taylor’s torrefaction treatment, and the spruce top sings with remarkably traditional tone and aged warmth that perfectly suits its heritage-style Gold Label distinctiveness. The mahogany back and sides contribute a lovely complementing resonance laden with a drier, earthier tonality and plenty of midrange punch. Blending these two exceptional choices drops the Gold Label 510e properly back in time with ovation-deserving sonics.

Meet the vintage-inspired Gold Label Collection

At Sadek Music, we proudly present the vintage-inspired Taylor Gold Label Collection. For much of Taylor Guitars’s half-century history, the brand has been a beacon of 6-string innovation—from pioneering advancements in bracing to the enduringly reliable bolt-on neck joint. Bob Taylor, Andy Powers, and the Taylor team have shaped many of the acoustic improvements most celebrated since the prewar era of guitar building. The Gold Label Collection asks: what if Taylor could turn back the clock to the 1930s and 1940s, blending the spirit of those trailblazing instruments with the brand’s forward-thinking craftsmanship? Within this collection, Taylor’s classic dreadnought design receives modern enhancements like fanned V-Class bracing and the Action Control Neck featuring a long-tenon neck joint, delivering a perfect marriage of vintage tone and contemporary performance—available now at Sadek Music.

Cutting-edge Action Control Neck joint

Taylor has led the charge in neck joint technology for decades, from Bob Taylor’s earliest bolt-on experiments to the dawn of the easily adjustable NT Neck at the turn of the 20th century. Under the leadership of Andy Powers, Taylor has once again pushed the boundaries of steel-string design with the Action Control Neck, a trailblazing bolt-on system that allows you to adjust the neck angle without requiring removal of the neck or strings.
