Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
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.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage sets that call for an acoustic-electric with onboard volume and tone adjustment.
- Studio or microphone work where projection, sustained notes, and balanced response matter.
- Players alternating between fingerstyle parts and fuller strummed accompaniment.
