Deeper body yields exceptional warmth and power Torrefied spruce top adds aged-in sweetness and depth Indian rosewood back and sides generate lush overtones Action Control Neck offers unparalleled adjustability and comfort Includes LR Baggs electronics and hardshell case Combining a modified round-shoulder dreadnought body with a classic tonewood pairing, upgraded interior voicing and a revolutionary neck design, the Gold Label 717e promises an exciting next step in the growth of our Gold Label Collection. This model boasts back and sides of solid Indian rosewood, a torrefied Sitka spruce top, and a fanned variant of our V-Class bracing design, which all come together in a Grand Pacific body that's a full five inches deep at the soundhole—3/8"" deeper than the standard version of that body shape. That modification adds more low-end power and projection along with an exceptionally warm, round tone profile accented by rosewood's signature blooming overtones and a dash of played-in sweetness thanks to the specially roasted top. Complementing that heritage sound is our new long-tenon Action Control Neck™, which offers enhanced coupling between the neck and body to produce more low-end warmth plus unprecedented adjustability—simply turn the interior neck bolt through the soundhole to dial in the perfect action (string height) for your playing style. Appointments include a Curve Wing bridge in Honduran rosewood with matching bridge pins, cream-colored binding and a matching single-ring rosette, Crest inlays, our newly modified headstock shape, a firestripe pickguard, and a full-body gloss finish. It ships with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and a deluxe hardshell case with a British Cocoa exterior.
