[PREORDER] Taylor 317e V-Class Grand Pacific Acoustic Guitar w/Case

The Grand Pacific 317e, featuring Taylor's new round-shoulder dreadnought body voiced with their award-winning V-Class bracing, helps usher in a whole new Taylor sound. Notes blend smoothly together to produce a warm and seasoned acoustic voice with clear low-end power.

Built with solid sapele back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top, the guitar’s tonal response sits comfortably between the dry, focused character of mahogany and the harmonically complex sound of rosewood. The body’s wider waist helps produce a strong bass response, but without the woodiness that can sometimes plague bigger-body guitars. That low-end clarity blends evenly with the guitar’s mids and highs, yielding a rich, dynamic tone with notes that overlap into a seamless whole.

The V-Class bracing, tailored for the Grand Pacific body, dials up the power and sustain, along with improved intonation, making this a versatile tool for jamming with other musicians, playing alongside a vocalist, or embarking on solo adventures. This edition comes equipped with onboard ES2 electronics, and thanks to the clarity of the low-end frequencies, the guitar will be less inclined to feedback in amplified settings, making it a reliable partner for plugged-in applications.
