Taylor Partners with Trey Hensley on First Gold Label Artist Model

As Taylor expands its acclaimed Gold Label series — first introduced in January 2025 — it’s only natural that the company has partnered with a beloved member of the Taylor family: Trey Hensley.

The powerhouse new Gold Label 510e dreadnought, Taylor’s first collaborative Gold Label guitar, channels Hensley’s signature style. The Nashville virtuoso, a longtime Taylor player who has wowed audiences and industry peers alike, is known for his fiery flatpicking and thoughtful songwriting.

The collaboration comes as both Taylor and Hensley are hitting new highs in their respective journeys. Named Guitar Player of the Year at the 2025 IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards (his second win after 2023), Hensley also won a GRAMMY for Best Traditional Blues Album in 2025 as part of the Taj Mahal Sextet. His 2015 album with Rob Ickes, Before the Sun Goes Down, earned a GRAMMY nomination, and he has collaborated with legends including Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Dolly Parton and Earl Scruggs.
