Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor’s Gold Label 817e combines a deeper-bodied Grand Pacific format with a torrefied Sitka spruce top and Honduran rosewood back and sides. Fanned V-Class bracing and hide-glue construction are central to its acoustic design, while the long-tenon Action Control Neck provides alignment and adjustability. For amplified work, its LR Baggs Element VTC system uses an undersaddle transducer with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls. It is a right-handed, six-string acoustic-electric supplied in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Solo or band performances requiring onboard volume and tone adjustment.
- Recording or amplified acoustic work using the LR Baggs Element VTC system.
