The Taylor Builder's Edition 717e is an exceptional acoustic-electric guitar that combines masterful craftsmanship, premium tonewoods, and innovative design elements. This guitar is part of Taylor's esteemed Builder's Edition series, which represents the pinnacle of Taylor's acoustic guitar offerings.
The Builder's Edition 717e features a Grand Pacific body shape, which offers a unique blend of power, warmth, and clarity. The top wood is crafted from solid torrefied Sitka spruce, which has been treated with Taylor's special roasting process to enhance its tonal properties. The back and sides are made of solid Indian rosewood, known for its rich, complex sound and stunning visual appeal.
One of the standout features of the Builder's Edition 717e is the V-Class bracing. This revolutionary bracing design improves the guitar's overall sustain, volume, and intonation. It enhances the guitar's natural resonance and allows for better control over the instrument's tonal balance. The bracing also promotes greater clarity and note separation, resulting in a highly articulate sound with exceptional projection.
The neck of the Builder's Edition 717e is crafted from tropical mahogany and features Taylor's ergonomic "Compound Carve" profile. This unique neck design offers a comfortable playing experience, with a slightly rounded shape 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 stunning abalone Arrowhead inlays.
Equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, the Builder's Edition 717e ensures that your amplified sound is faithful to the guitar's acoustic tone. The ES2 system uses a proprietary behind-the-saddle pickup and a unique preamp design to capture the natural dynamics and nuances of your playing. It provides a clear and natural sound when plugged into an amplifier or PA system.
Additional features of the Builder's Edition 717e include a beveled armrest for enhanced playing comfort, chamfered body edges for a smooth and ergonomic feel, and Gotoh 510 tuners for precise and stable tuning. The guitar also features a Silent Satin finish, which not only enhances the guitar's resonance but also offers a smooth and tactile feel.
