Taylor Gold Label 717e

The Taylor Gold Label 717e represents an evolution of this legendary guitarmaker's Grand Pacific design. It features a deeper body, which gives this round-shoulder dreadnought a rich and warm tone and timbre. The solid-wood top is crafted from torrefied sitka spruce; torrefication is a treatment that preserves the wood's balanced acoustic properties while enhancing its complexity, resulting in a sound reminiscent of an instrument that's already been professionally played-in. For the back and sides, Taylor uses solid East Indian rosewood, which not only adds a striking visual element with its distinctive grain, but also contributes to the guitar's full-spectrum tonal response. To ensure that the Gold Label – with its modern and yet vintage aesthetic – is ready for the stage, it comes equipped with the high-quality L.R. Baggs Element VTC pickup system.

The Taylor Gold Label 717e delivers in every musical setting, be it in an unplugged session, on stage in even the largest venues, or for a studio recording. Its full-bodied tonal profile – smooth mids, singing trebles, direct response – will inspire players and listeners alike, whether the guitar is used as part of a band or for playing complex solo arrangements. The Gold Label handles driving rhythms just as effortlessly as demanding fingerstyle passages – leaving it entirely up to the tastes and whims of each individual musician to decide how they want to express themselves on this instrument. Thanks to the L.R. Baggs Element VTC pickup system, the guitar's sound can be brought to the stage with minimal post-processing, preserving its natural character as if it were being played acoustically. To ensure safe transport, the instrument ships with a premium Taylor Gold Label case, offering a level of protection that matches the guitar's outstanding features.
