Taylor Gold Label 717e, Torrefied Spruce, Indian Rosewood

Launched in January 2025, Taylor’s Gold Label Collection introduced a rounder, warmer, more robust flavor of acoustic tone inspired by an older, more traditional acoustic sound — a dramatically different sonic personality from anything previously crafted by Taylor.  Among the key tone-shaping design features were a new Super Auditorium body style, new bracing architecture, and Taylor’s patented new long-tenon Action Control Neck.  Together, the design elements create a voice rich with oldschool character, coupled with modern playability refinements that extend Taylor’s legacy of exceptional playability.
