This Taylor Acoustic Guitars - Grand Pacific 517e marks the Grand Pacific's entry into Taylor's 500 series with a Builder's Edition stunner, here in a Wild Honey Burst. Featuring a torrefied Sitka Spruce top paired with Tropical Mahogany back and sides this dreadnought has a pronounced mid-range, with a warm, round sound where individual notes overlap and blend smoothly together. Thanks to Taylor's new Andy Powers designed V-Class sonic engine this round-shouldered dread delivers loads of volume and sustain while keeping notes extremely well in tune up and down the neck. And with the built in Expression 2 electronics this Grand Pacific is as ready for campfire jams as it is for coffee shop gigs all the way up to larger venues.

This 517e is an excellent addition to the new Grand Pacific series and brings a totally new sound in the Taylor lineup. The Silent Satin finish, a features of the Builder's Edition models, delivers on the look and feel of an old guitar, while keeping the squeaking and sliding sounds of a player’s natural arm movements at a minimum. Includes a free setup from our team of luthiers and the new Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Western Floral case.
