Description
The Taylor 217e Plus Special Edition Acoustic-Electric - Honeyburst offers a bigger, fuller acoustic voice for players who want strong projection and a comfortable modern feel. Built around Taylor's Grand Pacific body shape, this model leans into a warm, round tonal character that works especially well for strummers, singer-songwriters, and players looking for a rich accompaniment sound. The Honeyburst finish and Plus series appointments give it a polished look while keeping the familiar Taylor playability many players rely on.
A solid torrefied Sitka spruce top helps deliver a mature, broken-in response right from the start, while layered rosewood back and sides add depth and a bit of low-end warmth. The Grand Pacific body shape emphasizes a rounder bass response with smooth, blended mids, making it a great fit for rhythm work and vocal backing. Taylor's C-Class bracing helps keep the tone balanced and controlled, and the ES2 electronics system faithfully captures the guitar's natural acoustic character when plugged in for stage or recording use.
The Standard Carve neck and full 25.5 inch scale length provide a familiar feel that stays comfortable across long playing sessions. The Venetian cutaway makes upper fret work easier when you want to move beyond basic chords, and the Plus series touches like the gloss body finish and included AeroCase give it the durability and protection players appreciate when taking a guitar on the road. It's the kind of reliable, versatile acoustic-electric we like pointing players toward when they want a full sounding Taylor that still feels easy to play.
