Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor’s Gold Label 717e uses a deep-body Grand Pacific design with a 5-inch soundhole depth, a torrefied Sitka spruce top, and East Indian rosewood back and sides. That combination is described as delivering expanded low-end resonance, projection, warmth, clarity, and layered overtones. Fanned V-Class bracing with tonal routing supports sustain, intonation, and dynamic range. For amplified work, the LR Baggs Element VTC system provides discreet onboard volume and tone control at the soundhole.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Amplified performances that benefit from volume and tone control at the soundhole.
- Fingerstyle passages and detailed chord voicings using the 1-3/4-inch nut-width layout.
- Stage or studio work requiring acoustic and amplified use from one guitar.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this is a right-handed instrument.
