Taylor have impressed us with this New Taylor Builder’s Edition 717 Acoustic Guitar in Guitars, it’s in stock, and ready to ship with fast, reliable delivery across the UK, Ireland, and Europe. For more details within Guitars, additional Acoustic Guitars options, full specifications, demos, images, videos, and secure online ordering, read on below.

The Builder’s Edition 717 helped introduced Taylor’s Grand Pacific body shape to the world, offering a rounded, blended tone that might surprise players who think they know the Taylor sound. Indian rosewood back and sides generate deep lows and pristine trebles, and the torrefied spruce top adds a bit of sweetness that usually comes with years of play.

Key Features

  • Grand Pacific – This round-shoulder dreadnought delivers a new flavor of warm, rich Taylor tone.
  • Indian Rosewood – The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.
  • Sitka Spruce – The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
  • No Electronics – Whether you’re an acoustic purist or simply don’t need a pickup, we’ve got you covered.
  • V-Class Bracing – Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns. 

Dreadnought Style Body

The dreadnought-style body serves up a big, throaty response with clear low-end power that translates beautifully through microphones, without the boominess that accompanies some larger-bodied instruments. Chamfered body and fretboard edges, a compound-carve neck profile that accommodates the movement of your fretting hand down the ebony fingerboard, and a noise-reducing Silent Satin finish all enhance the playing experience. This model includes a deluxe hardshell case.

Stuff About Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars produce their sound naturally through the vibration of the strings and body, offering a direct and expressive playing experience. They come in a wide range of styles, including steel string and classical designs, each with its own feel and tonal character. Body shape, wood choice, and construction all influence warmth, projection, and balance, making acoustics suitable for everything from gentle fingerstyle to confident strumming. Whether used for songwriting, practice, or performance, acoustic guitars provide a simple, honest connection between the player and the music.

Stuff About Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Stuff About Steel String Acoustic Guitars

Steel string acoustic guitars are known for their bright, clear tone and strong projection, making them a popular choice for strumming, fingerpicking, and songwriting. Using steel strings gives them more tension and volume than classical guitars, resulting in a sound that cuts through well whether played solo or alongside other instruments. They come in a range of body shapes and sizes, each influencing balance, resonance, and comfort. From delicate fingerstyle passages to powerful rhythm playing, steel string acoustics are versatile instruments that respond well to dynamics and playing style, both at home and on stage.
