The Taylor Gold Label 717e brings a bold new voice to the Grand Pacific family with a deeper, more resonant body and a refined acoustic personality. Built with a torrefied Sitka spruce top paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, this Grand Pacific delivers seasoned warmth, clarity, and incredible projection. Andy Powers has reimagined this classic slope-shoulder dreadnought shape with a deeper 5" body for enhanced low-end response and broader dynamic range. The result is an earthy, honest sound that feels familiar yet fresh—ideal for players seeking rich overtones and a powerful presence, whether on stage or in the studio.
Aesthetically, the 717e blends tradition with Taylor’s modern elegance. It features a gloss-finished body with a satin-finished mahogany neck, Indian rosewood bridge pins, a Honduran rosewood Curve Wing bridge, and understated cream appointments throughout. The exclusive long-tenon Action Control Neck™ design allows for micro-adjustable string height without removing the neck or strings, making it one of the most player-friendly high-end acoustics on the market. With onboard LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and a deluxe hardshell case, the Gold Label 717e is a powerful, expressive workhorse built for today's acoustic guitarist.
