{"product_id":"864118","title":"TAYLOR [Slightly Damaged, Special Price] Gold Label 717e Blacktop Taylor","description":"\"Due to minor scratches that are not visible in the photos, we are offering this item at a special price!!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As music evolves with the times, Taylor pursued the question of what truly \"memorable sound\" is, and the Gold Label series is one answer she presented to that question.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This model is not simply a high-end model using premium materials; it's designed to return to the fundamentals of a musical instrument as a means of making music, and to maximize the expressive power of the player.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This model features a new shape, a resized version of the traditional \"Grand Pacific\" shape with a deeper body.\u003cbr\u003e Taylor guitars are generally known for their clear and well-defined sound, but the \"Grand Pacific\" shape is characterized by powerful bass and clear treble output.\u003cbr\u003e In addition, this model, with a body thickness increased by slightly less than 10 mm, boasts a warmer and more open tone, resulting in a wide-range and highly playable instrument.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, this evolution extends beyond just the body shape; it also incorporates the latest version of Taylor's innovative V-Class bracing, \"Fanned V-Class with Tonal Route,\" which features special design modifications exclusive to the Gold Label.\u003cbr\u003e While the conventional V-Class prioritizes \"sustain and pitch stability,\" the \"Fanned V-Class with Tonal Route\" is an evolved version that further pursues greater dynamic freedom and tonal depth.\u003cbr\u003e The Fanned design and Tonal Root create a stereo-like sound where the tone of each string naturally spreads in its own direction, resulting in a high-resolution sound where each note resonates distinctly without overlapping when playing chords.\u003cbr\u003e The asymmetrical bracing design clearly separates and emphasizes the depth of the bass strings and the clarity of the treble, resulting in deeper bass and more brilliant treble.\u003cbr\u003e Thanks to the Tonal Route effect, even with a light touch, the sound comes through clearly, and even when played strongly, the sound doesn't get muddy. The player's picking nuances are more easily conveyed, resulting in improved expressiveness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This time, the neck joint method has also evolved, and a new structure with deep and precise joining, called \"Long Tenon Neck Joint,\" has been adopted, which achieves rich sustain and harmonics as the neck and body resonate as one unit.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, its adjustable angle design allows for flexible settings to suit seasonal variations and playing styles.\u003cbr\u003e This is Taylor's new generation joint system, which balances resonance and adjustability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The top wood is made of torified Sitka spruce, and the high-temperature heat treatment removes excess moisture, improving the tonal response and resulting in a warm sound that sounds as if it has been played for many years.\u003cbr\u003e The clear, crisp highs and responsive attack make each note stand out, even during solo performances.\u003cbr\u003e The sides and back are made of Indian rosewood, resulting in a sound characterized by a well-balanced bass and clear, transparent treble.\u003cbr\u003e Each string produces a very three-dimensional and impactful sound, resulting in a tone that offers both stable bottom end and a wide high-frequency range, whether strumming or fingerstyle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Equipped with the LR Baggs \"Element VTC\" pickup system, trusted by professionals worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e The volume and tone controls are located in the soundhole, allowing you to shape your sound right at your fingertips.\u003cbr\u003e A strategic model suitable for live performances and recording sessions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Taylor logo also features a design that sets it apart from the regular line, and the custom inlays, engraved pickguard, and combination of matte and gloss finishes give it a luxurious feel that makes it stand out not only in sound but also in appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Experience the evolution of Taylor Guitars for yourself!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShape: Grand Pacific (Modified)\u003cbr\u003e Top: Torrefied Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003e Side \u0026amp; Back: Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e Neck: Neo-Tropical Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e Figerboard: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e Bridge: Honduran Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e Scale: 25-1\/2 (647.7mm)\u003cbr\u003e Neck Width: 1-3\/4\" (44.5mm)\u003cbr\u003e Bracing: Fanned V-Class with Tonal Route\u003cbr\u003e Electronics: LR Baggs Element VTC\u003cbr\u003e Tuners Taylor: Nickel with Nickel Buttons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hard case included","brand":"TAYLOR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43761268424817,"sku":"864118","price":2542.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/864118_01.jpg?v=1785379294","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/es\/products\/864118","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
