Taylor Gold Label 717e SBFP
Bold Tone. Timeless Burst. Effortless Playability.
The Gold Label 717e SB is a refined powerhouse—an acoustic-electric that blends traditional rosewood/spruce tone with modern performance and a vintage-inspired aesthetic. Part of Taylor’s acclaimed Gold Label Collection, this model features a deeper Grand Pacific body that enhances warmth, depth, and openness across the tonal spectrum, delivering rich low-end presence and clear, blooming overtones.
The pairing of solid Indian rosewood back and sides with a torrefied Sitka spruce top yields an exceptionally dynamic sound, with lush harmonic complexity, crisp articulation, and aged-in sweetness that evokes decades of natural resonance. Inside, Taylor’s advanced fanned V-Class bracing architecture increases volume, lengthens sustain, and fine-tunes intonation, helping each note ring out with clarity and precision across the entire neck.
The Action Control Neck™ system revolutionizes playability, offering both unmatched comfort and on-the-fly adjustability. The patented long-tenon neck joint enhances tonal transfer while allowing you to easily adjust string height with a simple turn of an internal bolt—without detuning or removing the strings—making the 717e SB an ideal choice for discerning players who demand a flawless playing experience.
Visually, the 717e SB stands apart with its gloss-finished golden-brown sunburst top, a tasteful nod to classic mid-century acoustics. A firestripe pickguard, cream binding and rosette, and Crest inlays in matching cream add to the guitar’s timeless appeal. Premium details such as the Honduran rosewood Curve Wing bridge, Indian rosewood pins, and Taylor nickel tuners complete the elegant package.
Outfitted with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics, the 717e SB delivers natural, articulate amplified tone, whether on stage or in the studio. It ships in a British Cocoa deluxe Gold Label hardshell case, offering reliable protection with a touch of vintage class.
