Description
Designed to produce an older, more traditional acoustic sound, the 517e blends warm, old-school tone with modern playability. Crafted with solid mahogany back & sides & a natural torrefied Sitka spruce top for a mature, played-in sound from day one, this gloss-finish Grand Pacific model offers a rich midrange character with a clear, woody response. The round-shoulder dreadnought shape delivers incredible low-end power while a slender, satin-finish neck provides smooth playability. Inside, fanned V-Class bracing boosts volume, lengthens sustain & improves intonation along the entire fretboard. Taylor's patented long-tenon Action Control Neck joint enhances the wood coupling between neck & body to boost low-end resonance while enabling easy & precise adjustments to string height. Professionally set up with fresh strings & low action so it's ready to play straight out of the case.
