The Taylor 717e Grand Pacific acoustic-electric guitar is an innovative instrument that produces a warm, balanced tone perfect for any playing style. Its solid torrefied Sitka spruce top and genuine Hawaiian koa back and sides generate a lively, musical sound with impressive projection. The Grand Pacific body shape eliminates unwanted boominess while retaining a full, resonant bass. Together with Taylor'sV-Class bracing, the 717e creates notes that ring clearly down the neck with balanced volume and sustain.

Sitka Spruce and Koa Produce a Lively, Musical Voice

The 717e's torrefied Sitka spruce top is highly responsive, producing a wide dynamic range and balanced tone. The koa back and sides add a strong midrange focus with bright, chimey highs. This tonewood combination results in a punchy, articulate voice that suits flatpicking, strumming and fingerstyle playing. The thin matte finish and natural wood grains give the 717e a smooth, tactile feel that connects you closely with its resonant voice.

V-Class Bracing Optimizes the Guitar's Response

Taylor'sV-Class bracing is an innovative design that improves volume, sustain and intonation. It creates notes that ring clearly from the first fret to the last, with consistent volume and bloom. Chords sound full and balanced, free of sour or choked tones. The 717e's musical fingerboard and pure pitch allow for precise, effortless tuning. V-Class bracing makes the 717e exceptionally responsive to your playing dynamics and style.
