View Full DescriptionRich, warm tone
The Taylor 217e-SB Plus LTD Electro Acoustic offers a rich and warm tone, thanks to its Grand Pacific body shape. This round-shoulder dreadnought design is known for delivering a powerful low-end, making it ideal for players who seek a full-bodied sound with clear, overlapping notes. Whether strumming chords or playing delicate fingerpicking passages, this guitar provides a balanced and immersive sonic experience.
Mature, aged-in sound
The torrefied Sitka spruce top is a key feature of this guitar, providing a mature, aged-in sound that many players desire. The torrefaction process gives the wood a naturally seasoned character, enhancing its tonal qualities and ensuring it responds beautifully right out of the case. This results in a guitar with exceptional sustain, resonance, and a broad dynamic range.
Enhanced volume and sustain
Equipped with Taylor’s innovative C-Class bracing, the 217e-SB Plus LTD offers enhanced volume and sustain, perfect for performers and recording artists alike. This bracing pattern not only boosts the guitar's low-end response but also ensures that each note rings out clearly and with greater presence. The result is a powerful, articulate sound that fills any room with rich, vibrant tones.
Comfortable playability
The easy-playing neck of the Taylor 217e-SB Plus LTD is designed for maximum comfort, allowing players to glide effortlessly across the fretboard. Crafted from Neo-Tropical Mahogany and topped with a West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard, the neck offers a smooth and responsive feel that suits a wide range of playing styles.
