When you first set eyes on the Taylor Gold Label 717e standing in its premium hardshell case, you’ll feel like you’ve stumbled onto something truly special. At its heart is a deeply resonant modified Grand Pacific dreadnought body paired with rich Indian rosewood back and sides that deliver a tapestry of lush overtones and harmonic texture. A torrefied Sitka spruce top adds warmth, clarity, and a matured, played-in sweetness straight out of the case, inviting you to explore and express. Every element was chosen to create an instrument that sounds as alive and vibrant as it feels in your hands.

Taylor’s innovative fanned V-Class bracing system sits beneath the voiceboard to bring remarkable sustain, projection, and balanced tone across the range, so each chord seems to bloom with color. The newly refined Action Control Neck lets you subtly tweak string height with an interior adjustment bolt, so whether you’re strumming coastal rhythms, fingerpicking on an intimate porch, or cutting through with confident flatpicking, the feel is smooth, responsive, and entirely yours. Premium appointments like the Honduran rosewood Curve Wing bridge, cream binding, and Crest inlays give the 717e a timeless elegance that looks as good as it sounds.

Plugged in, the onboard LR Baggs Element VTC electronics bring your acoustic tone to life with natural warmth and clarity, translating every nuance of your attack to the stage or studio. From the first light touch to your boldest strums, this guitar delivers an inspiring dynamic response, making it ideal for performers and recording artists alike. The full gloss finish and tasteful firestripe pickguard complete a look that’s both classic and refined.

Whether you’re adding a standout player to your personal collection or searching for a centerpiece instrument that commands attention and responds beautifully to your touch, the Taylor Gold Label 717e awaits at Haggerty’s Music. It pairs legendary craftsmanship with modern innovation to offer a voice that’s richly expressive, versatile, and uniquely yours.
