TaylorGold Label 717e Grand Pacific Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Blacktop
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor’s right-handed Gold Label 717e combines a Deep Body Grand Pacific body with a torrefied Sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides. The deeper body is described as adding low-end presence and projection, while the fanned V-Class bracing with tonal rout supports sustain, balance, and intonation. LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and onboard volume and tone controls make amplified adjustment available at the guitar. A Taylor deluxe hardshell case is included.
