Taylor Gold Label 517e and 717e Models 2025

Taylor Gold Label 517e & 717e Series
Vintage Warmth. Modern Craftsmanship. Legendary Tone.

Discover the rich, rootsy voice of the Taylor Gold Label 517e and 717e Series—a refined take on traditional acoustic design with the unmistakable playability of Taylor. Featuring a deeper Grand Pacific body shape, these round-shoulder dreadnoughts deliver bold low-end power, blooming overtones, and a dry, seasoned character reminiscent of vintage acoustics. The 517e pairs solid tropical mahogany with a torrefied Sitka spruce top for a dry, earthy midrange and aged-in sweetness, while the 717e adds harmonic depth and shimmering highs with solid Indian rosewood back and sides. Inside, fanned V-Class bracing enhances volume, sustain, and tuning precision, while the revolutionary Action Control Neck™ allows effortless adjustments to string height in seconds. Finished with heritage-inspired appointments—including firestripe or cream pickguards, Crest inlays, and Honduran rosewood bridges—each model comes equipped with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and a British Cocoa deluxe hardshell case, making them stage- and studio-ready from day one. Whether you lean toward warm midrange punch or lush, overtone-rich complexity, the Gold Label Series brings timeless tone into the modern era.
