Description
The Taylor 217e-SB Plus Grand Pacific in Sunburst brings the Grand Pacific body shape to a more accessible price point, while keeping the essentials that make this shape so appealing. It's a great choice for players at any level who want a versatile, vintage-flavored acoustic that feels modern in-hand. The torrefied spruce top gives it a broken-in, warm tone from the start, and that sunburst finish gives it just the right amount of stage presence without going overboard.
Taylor's C-Class bracing helps the body project more efficiently, giving the low-end a little extra push while keeping things balanced across the range. Layered Indian rosewood back and sides round out the tone with clarity and definition. Whether you're tracking at home or playing out live, the ES2 pickup system delivers a clear, natural-sounding signal. It's a really solid "do-it-all" acoustic that adapts well to strumming, fingerpicking, or flatpicking.
The standard carve neck and satin finish make it easy to move around the fretboard, and the 1-11/16" nut width keeps the playability nice and approachable. With upgraded touches like the gloss finish and AeroCase included, the 217e-SB Plus is ready to go wherever you are. This one lands in a sweet spot for a dependable, pro-level feel without a big jump in price.
