The latest addition to the Taylor Gold Label Collection brings another flavor of warm, round, old-school acoustic tone that will change your expectations of how a Taylor can sound. A modified Grand Pacific round-shoulder dreadnought with a deeper body, the Gold Label 717e Blacktop combines Indian rosewood with torrefied Sitka spruce to produce a rich, powerful voice with robust low-end character and warmth that stretches across the frequency spectrum. Inside, a fanned variant of our V-Class bracing architecture adds more volume and longer sustain, while our patented Action Control Neck™ incorporates a long-tenon neck joint to warm up the low-end resonance and offers unmatched adjustability and playing comfort—just turn the interior bolt to alter your action (string height) in seconds, without needing to remove the neck or detune the strings.
A striking black top finish treatment is complemented by cream-colored binding, rosette, pickguard, and Crest inlays, with a Honduran rosewood Curve Wing bridge and Indian rosewood bridge pins to round out the visual details. Dressed in a full-body gloss finish, the Gold Label 717e Blacktop features LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and includes a deluxe British Cocoa hardshell case.

-In business since 1976: Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.
-Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!
-Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.
You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum.
