Description
The Taylor 117e Special Edition Acoustic-Electric - Dark Tobacco Teardrop is an excellent choice for players who want the rich, full-bodied sound of a Grand Pacific paired with Taylor's signature playability and dependable craftsmanship. Whether you're accompanying vocals, writing songs, or looking for an acoustic that excels at relaxed strumming, this Special Edition blends classic Taylor comfort with exclusive styling and reliable stage-ready performance. Its Dark Tobacco Teardrop finish gives it a distinctive look while complementing the warm, traditional character of the Grand Pacific body shape.
A solid spruce top delivers clear projection, impressive dynamic range, and excellent note definition, while layered sapele back and sides provide durability with balanced warmth. Taylor's C-Class bracing enhances volume, sustain, and low-end response, giving the Grand Pacific a broad, seasoned voice that's equally satisfying for rhythm playing and solo performance. When it's time to plug in, the onboard Expression System 2 faithfully captures the guitar's natural acoustic character for live performances and recording sessions.
The Standard Carve neck provides a familiar, comfortable feel, paired with a smooth smoked eucalyptus fingerboard for effortless playability across the entire neck. Premium touches like Taylor's die-cast chrome tuners, NuBone nut, and Micarta saddle ensure dependable tuning stability and consistent performance wherever you play. We think this Special Edition is an outstanding choice for players looking for a versatile Taylor with exclusive styling and reliable performance both on stage and at home.
