Taylor Gold Label 717e Sunburst Acoustic/Electric Guitar
Sitka Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back & sides - gloss finish
Sitka Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back & sides - gloss finish
With a lustrous golden-brown burst top to complement its warm, heritage voice, the Gold Label 717e SB adds an entirely new flavor of tone to the Taylor lineup. This modified Grand Pacific round-shoulder dreadnought features a deeper body depth that yields a richer, warmer, more open voice with clear low-end power and a round character across the frequency spectrum—even in the treble range. Inside, our fanned V-Class bracing improves volume and sustain, letting the lush overtones of the rosewood/spruce pairing bloom as notes resonate. This Gold Label guitar also sports our revolutionary Action Control Neck™, which combines the playability of the Taylor neck profile with a simple adjustment bolt that makes it easy to dial in your preferred feel in seconds.
Visual appointments reflect the guitar's old-school sound, including a firestripe pickguard, a Curve Wing bridge in Honduran rosewood with Indian rosewood bridge pins, and cream-colored binding, rosette and Crest inlays. This model ships with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics for warm, clear plugged-in sound and a deluxe hardshell case with a British Cocoa exterior.
