The specialist's opinion
The Builder's Edition 717e combines unparalleled playing comfort with a warm, experienced tone in the Grand Pacific body shape, a modern round-shoulder adaptation of the classic Dreadnought.
A traditional design with a nostalgic look, this model is filled with groundbreaking innovations from Taylor's master guitar maker, Andy Powers.
The solid Indian rosewood back and sides combine with a roasted Sitka spruce top to produce rounded notes and clear power. A slightly hollow midrange will leave natural space for the vocals, while the rosewood highs harmonize with the harmonics throughout the sound spectrum. The individual notes overlap and blend into each other, maintaining a tonal clarity that makes this model a great choice for studio guitarists. As a member of the Builder's Edition range, this 717e features a compound carve neck profile that facilitates hand movement along the neck, with rolled fingerboard edges for an even more comfortable feel. Other player-focused features include chamfered body edges and a Silent Satin finish that reduces incident noise when playing. If you're looking for a unique take on the Taylor acoustic sound in a more traditional format, the Builders Edition 717e is sure to inspire you for years to come.
