    Taylor 217e Plus Grand Pacific Acoustic Electric Guitar

    The Taylor 217e Plus Grand Pacific is the acoustic equivalent of a well-worn leather jacket — it feels familiar, looks incredible, and somehow fits into every situation perfectly. By marrying the round-shoulder dreadnought shape with a torrefied spruce top, Taylor has created a workhorse that delivers the warm, seasoned vibes of a vintage instrument right out of the box.

    Whether you're a flatpicker chasing bluegrass glory or a strummer looking to anchor a band mix, this guitar offers a sonic profile that is bold, balanced, and beautifully distinct.

    A Vintage Soul with a Modern Heart

    Most guitars take decades to "open up" and develop their unique voice, but the 217e Plus accelerates that process beautifully. Taylor's Grand Pacific body shape solves the classic dreadnought problem of boomy, indistinct lows, while the torrefied spruce top adds a sweetness usually found on much more expensive vintage instruments. The result is a sound that blends seamlessly with vocals instead of competing with them, sitting perfectly in any mix.

    • Solid Torrefied Spruce Top: This isn't just wood; it's wood that's been through a thermal "boot camp," resulting in a top that sounds played-in, responsive, and rich with mature character from day one.
    • Grand Pacific Body Shape: Avoid the boomy, muddy low-end of traditional dreadnoughts; this round-shoulder design produces clear, warm notes that stack beautifully during heavy strumming.
    • C-Class Bracing: Under the hood, this asymmetrical bracing architecture pumps up the volume and extends sustain, ensuring your low-end has plenty of growl and your highs sing out clearly.

    Premium Tonewoods for Exceptional Sound

    Built from resilient layered woods, this guitar is a battle-ready companion. It’s engineered to endure the rigors of the road, the humidity of a cramped tour van, and the sweat of a spotlight-heavy stage without missing a beat.

    • Layered Big Leaf Maple Body: The stunning maple back and sides provide a sturdy structural platform that resists climate fluctuations while adding a focused, snappy attack to your tone.
    • Standard Taylor Neck Profile: Your hand will thank you after the third set; this hard rock maple neck is carved for comfort, making complex chords and fast runs feel almost effortless.
    • West African Ebony Fretboard: Smooth, fast, and articulate, the ebony surface offers a premium tactile experience that makes bending strings and sliding up the neck a joy.

    The 217e Plus enhances your sound without compromising its character. It seamlessly blends acoustic warmth with electric power, ensuring your guitar is heard clearly — just louder. And with a lightweight, protective case, transporting it is effortless.

    • Expression System 2 Electronics: Forget that nasty, artificial "quack" typical of piezo pickups; the ES2 captures the guitar's dynamic properties behind the saddle for a natural, breathing amplified tone.
    • AeroCase Included: It offers the protection of a hardshell case with the lightweight convenience of a gig bag, so you can travel light without gambling with your gear's safety.

    A Legacy of Quality

    The Taylor 217e Plus Grand Pacific combines superior craftsmanship, innovative design, and user-friendly features to deliver an exceptional musical experience. With its high-quality materials, natural amplified tone, and protective AeroCase, it's as reliable as it is inspiring.
