Taylor’s time-turning Gold Label collection now ventures into more attainable territory with the Gold Label 717e acoustic-electric guitar. It boasts a unique deep-body rendition of Taylor’s Grand Pacific shape, structured at the back and sides with rosewood for a sonic disposition that's incredibly deep, rich, and musical. A top of torrefied Sitka spruce injects balance and fanned V-Class projection into the mix with traditional, pre-aged tonal appeal reminiscent of old-school flat-top instruments. Equipped with an Action Control Neck using Taylor’s long-tenon joint and a comfortable Standard neck carve, the Gold Label 717e plays like an absolute dream. And when you plug in for shows and sessions, LR Baggs Element VTC electronics capture your instrument’s natural tone with spectacular accuracy. Finishing touches such as a cream-colored pickguard, binding, and inlaying, plus nickel tuners and a fresh headstock shape and logo inlay close out the Gold Label 717e with sensational bygone charm.
