Taylor Grand Pacific Builder's Edition 717e, Wild Honey Burst - Torrified Sitka Spruce/Indian Rosewood (2019)

This is a pre-owned Taylor Grand Pacific, Builder's Edition 717e, with a wild honey burst, in pristine condition.  Covering new sonic territory for Taylor, this guitar is rich and responsive.  The V-class bracing truly does improve intonation.  The beautiful burst makes this guitar handsome as well.  The ES-2 electronics work perfectly, making this Taylor ready for the stage.

Here is Taylor's description:  " A Wild Honey Burst top and low-sheen finish heighten the old-soul aesthetic appeal of this Builder’s Edition Grand Pacific, which builds on a long tradition of rosewood/spruce dreadnoughts but breaks new ground with an entirely new Taylor sound. The round-shoulder dreadnought shape, featuring Taylor’s award-winning V-Class bracing, produces warm, seasoned acoustic tone in which individual notes overlap and blend smoothly together, while the low-end power common among dreadnoughts boasts greater clarity here. V-Class brings extra punch and sustain, along with improved intonation and musicality across the entire frequency spectrum. Together with rosewood’s harmonic complexity and the played-in sound of the torrefied spruce top, players can expect rich, luxurious tonal character from top to bottom. It’s a voice comfortably rooted in a traditional sound, yet updated to offer more expressive musical range."
