Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
With a torrefied Sitka spruce top and genuine Hawaiian koa back and sides, the 717e is a Grand Pacific acoustic-electric built around a warm, balanced response with a full bass range. The koa contributes midrange focus and bright, chiming highs, while V-Class bracing is designed for clear notes, balanced volume, sustain, and improved intonation. Its LR Baggs Element VTC system provides onboard amplification with volume and tone controls. The matte finish gives the guitar a tactile wood-grain feel, and a deluxe hard shell case is included.
