Taylor Gold Label 717e Electro Acoustic Guitar Natural
Series: Gold Label Collection
Body Shape: Grand Pacific Dreadnought
Orientation: Right-Handed
Finish: Natural Gloss

Overview

The Taylor Gold Label 717e is a premium USA-made electro-acoustic guitar that combines vintage-inspired tonal warmth with Taylor’s most advanced modern acoustic innovations. Featuring a deeper Grand Pacific body shape, torrefied Sitka spruce top, and solid Indian rosewood back and sides, the 717e delivers a powerful, rich acoustic voice with exceptional low-end depth, sparkling articulation, and expansive dynamic response. As part of Taylor’s flagship Gold Label Collection, it blends old-school acoustic character with refined contemporary craftsmanship and professional live performance capability. 

The deeper Grand Pacific dreadnought body design enhances projection and bass response while maintaining the balance and clarity Taylor acoustics are known for. The torrefied Sitka spruce top provides a mature played-in tonal response straight out of the case, while the Indian rosewood back and sides contribute rich overtones, shimmering highs, and impressive sustain.

The neo-tropical mahogany neck features Taylor’s long-tenon Action Control Neck system for enhanced adjustability and stability, paired with a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard for smooth premium playability. Taylor’s Fanned V-Class bracing architecture improves sustain, projection, and intonation, making the 717e exceptionally responsive for strumming, flatpicking, fingerstyle playing, and professional recording applications.

Equipped with the LR Baggs Element VTC pickup system, the Gold Label 717e is fully stage-ready with a natural amplified acoustic voice and discreet onboard controls. Elegant Gold Label appointments including the Honduran rosewood Curve Wing bridge, modified headstock design, firestripe pickguard, and gloss finish complete the guitar’s refined vintage-modern aesthetic.
