Overview
Builder's Edition 717 WHB
One of a pair of Builder's Edition models that launched the Grand Pacific dreadnought body shape, the Builder's Edition 717 WHB boasts Indian rosewood back and sides with a torrefied spruce top. Together with the V-Class bracing inside, the all-solid tonewoods generate clear low-end power and chime-like trebles that blend together into a seasoned whole with plenty of volume and blooming sustain. A striking Wild Honey Burst color treatment treatment gives this model a classic look along with the noise-reducing Silent Satin finish. For comfort, players will appreciate the rounded body and fretboard edges, as well as the compound carve neck profile that lends this guitar a more accommodating, seamless feel. It ships with a hardshell case.
“It is reassuring to note that a human armed with a chisel and old-fashioned ingenuity is capable of making waves—waves of both surf and sound, perhaps the biggest revolution in acoustic guitar architecture since the dawn of X-Bracing.”
