Taylor 700-Series 717e Builder's Edition Grand Pacific - Wild Honey Burst Spruce Top with Rosewood Back and Sides
Grand Pacific Spruce Rosewood
Builder's Edition
The Builder's Edition 717e WHB takes Taylor into new musical territory with a seasoned tone and classic vibes. Indian rosewood and torrefied Sitka spruce pair up to produce a richly textured acoustic response, generating clear trebles and clear low-end power. V-Class bracing and innovative design touches help eliminate the "woofiness" that often comes with dreadnought guitars, making this a great option for recording purposes. The torrefied top adds some played-in sweetness right out of the box, and chamfered body edges and compound neck carve make for a pleasingly accommodating experience. This model sports a Wild Honey Burst color treatment with its Silent Satin finish, and includes ES2 electronics and a hardshell case.

- Builder's Edition offers optimal playing experience
- Solid Indian rosewood body, torrefied spruce top
- Solid Indian rosewood body provides depth and clarity
- Torrefied spruce top adds a aged-in sweetness
- Includes V-Class bracing, ES2 pickup, hard case
