Taylor Sunset Boulevard 117E SEB Sapele Spruce

Taylor Guitars proudly presents the Sunset BlvdTM Collection, an exclusive group of guitars for Guitar Center, inspired by the legendary Sunset Boulevard flagship store in Hollywood. Celebrating over six decades of musical history, this collection honors the store’s legacy as a hub for iconic musicians and guitar enthusiasts alike. 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 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.
