Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor's Gold Label 517e combines the Deep Body Grand Pacific design with a torrefied Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides. The body adds 3/8 inch of depth, and fanned V-Class bracing with a tonal rout forms the instrument's internal design. For amplified work, the LR Baggs Element VTC system provides onboard volume and tone control. A neo-tropical mahogany neck, genuine West African ebony fingerboard and Taylor deluxe hardshell case round out the build.
Strong match
Who this is for
