Warm, Seasoned Tone With the Grand Pacific Body

The Grand Pacific body shape gives the 217e Plus a vintage, seasoned sound. Its curves produce broad fundamental notes that overlap, blending smoothly instead of competing. You'll hear warmth and nuance, not the focused attack of Taylor's signature Grand Auditorium style. The bass is round and full, without problematic "boominess." Overall, the voice is nicely balanced across the tonal spectrum. From fingerstyle to flatpicking, the Grand Pacific sound shines.

Articulate and Dynamic With Torrefied Sitka Spruce Top

Torrefaction treatment improves the 217e Plus's Sitka spruce top wood, enhancing its resonance and projection. Notes sustain longer, with excellent pitch stability. You'll notice more headroom and sensitivity in the dynamic range, as the guitar responds to your most subtle variations in touch. Chords sound full and crystalline. Single notes "pop" with definition. The torrefied spruce adds punch and articulation to the Grand Pacific voice.

Balanced Bass and Treble With Layered Maple Back and Sides

Layered big leaf maple back and sides give the 217e Plus a sturdy tonal platform with balanced bass and treble response. The maple provides the midrange snap to complement the spruce top. Compared to mahogany, maple yields more projection and definition. Its crispness offsets the Grand Pacific body's natural warmth. Layered wood construction makes the guitar highly resistant to climate changes and everyday wear and tear.

Plug in to Taylor's ES2 Pickup System
