Taylor 417e-R Grand Pacific Electro Acoustic, Tobacco Sunburst Overview
The Taylor 417-R Grand Pacific Electro Acoustic is not only beautiful but delivers some of the most incredible harmonics. This model comes equipped with Taylor's classic Expression System 2 electronics, which allows you to plug in your instrument and let the natural sound resonate throughout the venue with ease. These have been perfectly paired with a beautiful blend of tonewoods, including spruce, rosewood, mahogany, and ebony, which delivers smooth and sustained tones with a bright and snappy overtone.
Not only does it produce beautiful harmonics, but it also has been carefully contoured to ensure your playing experience is as comfortable as possible. The body is lightweight, ensuring that you aren't limited to one spot when performing on stage. However, if you want to sit down and play, it has been carefully contoured to sit naturally on your lap. Its luxurious build stretches to the neck, where the standard cave shape rests in your hand and eliminates cramping.
Please note: These guitars showcase a unique and distinctive wood grain pattern in the body and fingerboard. We kindly request that you keep these characteristics in mind before considering your purchase, as each instrument will possess its own distinct variations.

This has been paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, adding warmth and an excellent sustain, whilst also maintaining its clarity.
Featured alongside these materials are neo-tropical mahogany, which has been used to craft the neck, and a West African crelicam ebony fingerboard. Thanks to this warm-sounding neck, your acoustic guitar is infused with an emphasised bass and fullness, along with a responsive and woody sound.

Not only do these incredible tonewoods feature the perfect finish, but they have also been carefully contoured for luxury.
