Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Golden Brown Shaded Edgeburst, this Gold Label 817e uses Taylor’s deeper-bodied Grand Pacific construction with a torrefied Sitka spruce top and Honduran rosewood back and sides. Its Fanned V-Class bracing and hide-glue construction shape the acoustic design, and the long-tenon Action Control Neck provides alignment and adjustability. The LR Baggs Element VTC system brings an undersaddle transducer together with soundhole volume and tone controls, so the instrument is equipped for amplified performance or recording. A Taylor deluxe hardshell case is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
