Taylor Builders Edition 717E WHB Grand Pacific V-Class Wild Honey Burst Acoustic Electric

Item: TOBE717EWHB

Part of Taylor's inaugural class of Grand Pacific guitars, the Builder's Edition 717E builds on a long tradition of rosewood and spruce dreadnoughts but breaks new ground with an entirely new Taylor sound. The round-shoulder dreadnought shape, featuring Taylor's award-winning V-Class bracing, produces warm, seasoned acoustic tone in which individual notes overlap and blend smoothly together, while the low-end power common among dreadnoughts boasts greater clarity here. V-Class brings extra punch and sustain, along with improved intonation and musicality across the entire frequency spectrum. Together with rosewood's harmonic complexity and the played-in sound of the torrefied “Wild Honey Burst” stained spruce top, players can expect rich, luxurious tonal character from top to bottom. It's a voice comfortably rooted in a traditional sound, yet updated to offer more expressive musical range. As a Builder's Edition model, the 717E also sports an array of premium, player-friendly features like chamfered (rounded) body edges, rolled fretboard edges, and a new compound carved neck profile, whose contours match the natural adjustments in the player's hand position when moving up and down the fretboard. Even the bridge design was refined to add a more ergonomic feel for the player's pick hand. Taylor's noise-reducing “Silent Satin” finish displays the muted sheen of an older guitar, while elegantly understated appointments include mother-of-pearl Arrowhead fretboard and peghead inlays, with sapele binding. And, of course, Taylor's stage-ready ES2 electronics are included.
