The Taylor Builder's Edition 717e WHB (Wild Honey Burst) is a stunning acoustic-electric guitar that embodies Taylor's commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, and exceptional tone. As part of the prestigious Builder's Edition series, this guitar showcases the highest level of artistry and attention to detail.
The Builder's Edition 717e WHB features a Grand Pacific body shape, which offers a rich, rounded tone with a warm low end and balanced response. The top wood is crafted from solid torrefied Sitka spruce, which has been carefully roasted to enhance its resonance, stability, and vintage-like character. The back and sides are made of solid Indian rosewood, known for its deep, resonant tonal qualities and beautiful grain patterns.
One of the standout features of the Builder's Edition 717e WHB is the V-Class bracing. This groundbreaking bracing design enhances the guitar's volume, sustain, and intonation by improving the transfer of energy across the soundboard. The result is a remarkably balanced and dynamic sound, with increased clarity, projection, and note separation.
The neck of the Builder's Edition 717e WHB is crafted from tropical mahogany and features Taylor's ergonomic "Compound Carve" profile. This unique neck shape provides a comfortable playing experience, with a slightly rounded feel near the nut and a flatter shape as you move up the fretboard. The fingerboard is made of West African Crelicam ebony and is adorned with intricate inlays, adding to the guitar's visual appeal.
Equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, the Builder's Edition 717e WHB ensures exceptional amplified sound. The ES2 system accurately captures the nuances and dynamics of the guitar's natural acoustic tone, delivering a clear and natural sound when plugged into an amplifier or PA system.
Additional features of the Builder's Edition 717e WHB include a beveled armrest for enhanced playing comfort, chamfered body edges for a smooth feel, and Gotoh 510 tuners for precise and stable tuning. The guitar also features a Silent Satin finish, which enhances the guitar's resonance and provides a smooth and inviting playing surface.
