Taylor Sunset Boulevard 117E SEB Sapele Spruce

Taylor Guitars is proud to introduce the Sunset Blvd™ Collection, an exclusive line of guitars for Guitar Center, inspired by the legendary flagship store on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. Celebrating over six decades of musical history, this collection pays homage to the store's legacy as a landmark for iconic musicians and guitar enthusiasts. Designed in collaboration with Guitar Center, these special models blend Taylor's renowned craftsmanship, playability, and tone with a tribute to this musical landmark.

Inspired by the legacy of Hollywood’s iconic music scene and the Guitar Center flagship store, the Sunset Blvd 117e SEB combines the warm, seasoned voice of our Grand Pacific body style with a sleek, SoCal-style aesthetic. A torrefied solid spruce top, specially roasted to produce 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 smooth, harmonically coherent sound with ample low-end power. V-Class bracing under the hood provides more volume, longer sustain, and improved harmonic agreement between notes, while a slim-profile Taylor neck and a smooth ebony fretboard ensure fluid fretwork and comfortable playability across all styles. A Sunset Edgeburst top, Italian diamond acrylic inlays, and a custom Sunset Blvd label create an eye-catching visual identity with vintage-inspired appeal. Outfitted with Taylor gold tuners and ES2 electronics, the Sunset Blvd 117e SEB ships in a soft gig bag.
