Taylor 217e-BLK Plus Grand Pacific Electro Acoustic, Black

Full Description

Classic Grand Pacific sound

The Taylor 217e-BLK Plus features the Grand Pacific body shape, known for its warm, vintage-inspired tone. This round-shoulder dreadnought offers a bold, resonant sound that’s ideal for musicians seeking a classic acoustic voice. With strong low-end response and balanced projection, it’s perfect for a variety of playing styles, whether strumming, flatpicking, or fingerpicking.

Warm, mature tone from torrefied spruce

The solid torrefied spruce top brings a rich, warm tone with an aged-in quality that typically comes from years of playing. Taylor’s roasting process enhances the top’s resonance and depth, delivering a mature sound right from the start. Combined with the maple back and sides, the 217e-BLK Plus offers a well-rounded acoustic tone that stands out in any musical setting.

C-Class bracing for more volume and sustain

The innovative C-Class bracing inside the 217e-BLK Plus boosts the guitar’s volume, sustain, and low-end power, giving your playing extra depth and presence. Whether you’re performing solo or with other musicians, the bracing ensures your sound projects clearly and with great tonal richness.

Ready for performance

With Taylor’s ES2 electronics, the 217e-BLK Plus delivers natural-sounding amplification that captures the full dynamic range of the guitar. Paired with the lightweight yet sturdy AeroCase, this model is stage-ready and easy to transport, making it perfect for live performances or studio recordings.
