Description
The Taylor 717e Gold Label Grand Pacific in Sunburst is a bold, expressive acoustic built for players who want warmth, volume, and a traditional voice with the precision and comfort of a modern build. It's a solid fit for experienced players, songwriters, and performers looking for an acoustic that leans into that earthy, broken-in sound right out of the case. With its firestripe pickguard and deeper body, this one leans a little more vintage in both tone and looks.
The pairing of torrefied Sitka spruce over Indian rosewood gives this 717e a broad tonal range-plenty of low-end thump with a sparkling, clear top end that doesn't get harsh. The deeper Grand Pacific body adds projection and low-end presence without losing note definition, and the V-Class bracing helps everything ring together with strong sustain and great intonation. Plug it in and the LR Baggs Element VTC system gives you a natural-sounding, gig-ready signal.
Playability is a high point here-thanks to the satin-finished neck and Taylor's Action Control Neck system, you can tweak the action yourself in seconds without removing strings. The firestripe pickguard gives the Sunburst top a nice vintage edge, and the overall fit and finish is right where you'd expect from a premium Taylor. We've gone hands-on with it; it's a dependable, full-sounding acoustic that feels just as dialed in as it sounds.
