C717, C709 specifications

Taylor C709 and C717 are two outstanding models from the renowned Taylor Guitars, each designed to cater to the discerning tastes of musicians looking for exceptional playability, sound quality, and craftsmanship.

The Taylor C709 is known for its remarkable tonal balance and projection. Constructed with a solid Sitka spruce top, it delivers a bright, clear sound that enhances the overall musicality of the instrument. The back and sides of the C709 are crafted from layered sapele, which not only adds to the visual appeal but also contributes to a warm, resonant voice. This model features a Grand Symphony body shape, known for producing a rich, full sound, making it an excellent choice for strumming and fingerpicking alike.

On the other hand, the Taylor C717 takes things a notch further with its unique design and features. It also boasts a solid Sitka spruce top, but pairs it with solid sapele back and sides, offering a more vibrant and dynamic tonal range. The Grand Pacific body shape of the C717 is specifically engineered for a vintage-inspired sound, making it perfect for players seeking warmth and depth. This model is designed to provide a pleasing balance between bass, midrange, and treble frequencies, ensuring a versatile performance suited for various styles.

Both models are equipped with the Taylor Expression System 2, a technologically advanced pickup system designed to capture the natural acoustics of the guitar. This feature makes it easier for musicians to amplify their sound without compromising the instrument's organic tone.

In terms of playability, both the C709 and C717 are built with a smooth mahogany neck and an ebony fingerboard, which provides a comfortable playing surface for intricate fingerwork and chords. The action is set to make playing effortless, whether you're a beginner or an experienced musician.

Aesthetically, Taylor has ensured that these guitars are as visually striking as they are sonically impressive. The glossy finish, elegant inlays, and overall craftsmanship make them showpieces worthy of attention on stage or in a personal collection.

In conclusion, the Taylor C709 and C717 models represent the perfect blend of innovation, tradition, and artistry, making them coveted instruments for players at all levels. With their superior tone, excellent playability, and stunning design, these guitars continue to uphold Taylor’s legacy of quality and excellence in the world of acoustic instruments.
