Detail 01
Deep Body Grand Pacific
The body is 3/8 inch deeper, a design intended to increase low-end resonance and projection.

Independent shopping perspective
Built around Taylor’s Deep Body Grand Pacific shape, the Gold Label 717e combines a torrefied Sitka spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides. The extra body depth is designed to bring more low-end presence and projection while retaining balance across the range. Fanned V-Class bracing with a tonal rout supports sustain and intonation, and the LR Baggs Element VTC system gives you onboard volume and tone control when amplification is part of the job. A deluxe Taylor hardshell case is included.
