Taylor Builder's Edition 517e Grand Pacific Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Wild Honey Burst

Wild Honey Burst finish

This round-shoulder Grand Pacific resonates with a finely-honed balance of low-end power and clarity across the middle and upper registers, producing warm, rounded tone in which notes blend seamlessly together to create a seasoned sound. The Builder's Edition stamp means that the 517e is detailed with premium features designed to maximize player comfort, including chamfered body edges and a new compound-carve neck profile that compensates for the change in your hand position as you move along the neck.

• Grand Pacific Shape - This round-shoulder dreadnought delivers a new flavor of warm, rich Taylor tone.
• Sitka Spruce Top Wood - The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
• Tropical Mahogany Body Wood - A midrange powerhouse. Mahogany is prized for balance and articulation, making it one of the best all-around tonewoods there is.
• Expression System 2 Electronics capture more of a guitar's dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
• Non-cutaway - The clean, symmetrical look of a traditional acoustic guitar.
• V-Class Bracing - A revolutionary design that balances the flexibility and stability of the top, V-Class bracing produces unmatched sustain, volume, and intonation.
• Comes with a Hardshell Case.
