Inspired by the legacy of Hollywood’s iconic music scene and Guitar Center's flagship store, the Sunset Blvd 117e SEB combines the warm, seasoned voice of our Grand Pacific body style with a stylish, SoCal-flavored visual aesthetic. A solid torrefied spruce top—specially roasted to yield a played-in sound right out of the box—is paired with layered sapele back and sides to produce round, broad notes that overlap into a seamless, blended sound with plenty of low-end power. Cantilevered V-Class bracing under the hood coaxes out more volume, longer sustain and greater harmonic agreement between notes, while a slim-profile Taylor neck and smooth ebony fingerboard ensure fluid fretting and comfortable playability across styles. A Sunset Edgeburst top, Italian acrylic diamond inlays and a custom Sunset Blvd label create an eye-catching visual identity with vintage-inspired charm. Outfitted with gold Taylor tuners and ES2 electronics, the Sunset Blvd 117e SEB comes in a gig bag.

Grand Pacific

A versatile workhorse, this round-shoulder take on the classic dreadnought body yields clear low-end power and a warm, blended voice.

Sapele

Balanced and consistent across the frequency spectrum. Punchy midrange similar to mahogany with more top-end presence.

The Taylor Neck

Introduced in 1999, the patented Taylor Neck offers legendary playing comfort, exceptional intonation and easy adjustability.

Torrefied Spruce

Treated with our special roasting process, torrefied spruce tops deliver all the clarity, balance and projection you’d expect from a traditional spruce top with an extra dash of warmth and played-in depth.
