Taylor Builders Edition 517E Grand Pacific V-Class Acoustic Electric Wild Honey Burst

Item: TOBE517EWHB

Among the first generation of Taylor's Grand Pacific dreadnought guitars, the mahogany and torrefied “Wild Honey Burst” stained spruce Builder's Edition 517E dramatically expands Taylor's sonic palette with a new flavor of acoustic tone that may surprise players who think they know the Taylor sound. This round shoulder Grand Pacific, an exciting new entry into the dreadnought category, resonates with a finely honed balance of low end power and clarity across the middle and upper registers; producing warm, rounded tone in which notes blend seamlessly together to create a seasoned sound. Back and sides of tropical mahogany flavor the sound with dry, woody character, coupling beautifully with the dynamic response of the torrefied Sitka spruce top. The Builder's Edition classification means that the 517E is detailed with premium features designed to maximize player comfort; including chamfered (rounded) body edges and a new compound carve neck profile that compensates for the change in your hand position as you move along the neck. Subtly contoured fretboard edges and a rounded, ridgeless heel add to the guitar's pleasing fretting-hand feel, while a refined bridge shape brings extra comfort to your pick hand. Under the hood, V-Class bracing enables the guitar to pump out stunning projection and sustain, plus nearly perfect intonation, which means you won't have to contend with sour notes on the fretboard. And with Taylor's proprietary onboard ES2 electronics, the guitar's many tonal virtues will shine in amplified applications. Between its sound and feel, the Builder's Edition 517E raises the bar on the Taylor playing experience.
