Description

TAYLOR 517E BUILDER'S EDITION ACOUSTIC GUITAR

The Taylor 517e Builder's Edition Acoustic Guitar is a round-shouldered dreadnought acoustic guitar from Taylor Guitars' Grand Pacific line.

Like other guitars in Taylor's 500 series, the 517e features solid mahogany back and sides, a torrefied solid Sitka spruce top, a mahogany neck, and an ebony fretboard.

The Grand Pacific shape was introduced by Taylor in 2019 and represents an innovation for the Californian brand's dreadnoughts. The rounded shoulders and V-Class bracing give this guitar a warm, deep sound, with bright accents in the mid and high registers of the neck. The guitar is amplified with Taylor's Expression System 2 and comes with an original hardshell case.

The Taylor 517e Builder's Edition Acoustic Guitar is available in Rome and online.
