As the first guitar in the 100 Series to feature Taylor’s Grand Pacific round-shoulder dreadnought body shape, the Taylor 117e delivers a seasoned, neo-vintage tone perfect for both beginners and gigging musicians. Crafted with a solid, torrefied spruce top and layered sapele back and sides, this acoustic-electric guitar unleashes a warm voice packed with clear projection and deep low-end power.

The specialized roasting process applied to the spruce top gives the instrument a mature, aged-in sweetness from day one. Inside the guitar, Taylor's proprietary C-Class bracing dials up extra volume, longer sustain, and increased bass presence. Complete with a slender, easy-playing neck and onboard ES2 electronics, the 117e offers an incredibly responsive and inspiring playing experience for players of all skill levels.
