Showcasing the Gold Label Collection’s finest tonewoods and most elaborate visual artistry, the Gold Label 917e SB delivers a deep, powerful sound and signature Taylor playability. Honduran rosewood and torrefied Adirondack spruce yield a harmonically complex voice with lush, blooming overtones and a sweet, played-in personality. Perfect for dynamic flatpicking and aggressive strumming, a deeper Grand Pacific produces thunderous lows and warm trebles, balancing a season, blended sound with pleasing musical clarity.

Fanned V-Class® interior bracing—applied with hot hide glue—enhances low-end resonance, projection, sustain and harmonic agreement between notes along the entire fretboard. A slender, long-tenon Action Control Neck™ dials up even more resonance while allowing for quick, easy string height adjustments. This model features a modified peghead shape with an angled-back design, script-style Taylor logo and paua purfling that culminates in a distinctive visual flourish at its crown.

Other aesthetic touches include a golden-brown “Teardrop Sunburst” top, a full-body gloss finish, new paua/mother-of-pearl Continental Deluxe inlays, a single-ring paua/Honduran rosewood rosette, a Honduran rosewood curve wing bridge, Indian rosewood bridge pins, grained ivoroid binding, and paua fretboard and top purfling. Equipped with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and Gotoh 510 antique gold tuners with ebony buttons, this model comes in a deluxe hardshell case with a British Cocoa exterior.

Note: After close inspection, this instrument has scratching on the bridge, and a minor impressions on the top of the body. (See pics, light reflection used to show wear)
