The Taylor Gold Label 717e Blacktop is a powerhouse electro-acoustic that blends the warmth and depth of vintage flat-tops with Taylor's most forward-thinking design work. With a torrefied Sitka spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides, this guitar delivers a rich, blooming tone with lush overtones, strong low-end presence and a played-in sweetness that feels instantly familiar.
The Grand Pacific body has been deepened by 3/8", giving it more "lung capacity" for enhanced projection and low-frequency warmth. Inside, fanned V-Class bracing improves sustain and intonation, while the revolutionary long-tenon Action Control Neck allows for precise, shimless neck angle adjustments - a game-changer for setup flexibility and resonance.
Visually, the full-gloss blacktop finish makes a bold statement, complemented by cream binding, a cream pickguard, and Crest inlays on the fretboard and headstock. The Honduran rosewood Curve Wing bridge and Indian rosewood bridge pins add boutique flair. Plug in with confidence thanks to the LR Baggs Element VTC pickup, and carry it in style with the included British Cocoa deluxe hardshell case.
