Features

The solid torrefied spruce top undergoes Taylor's special roasting process to create a warmer, more mature character while retaining the clarity, balance and projection associated with spruce. This treatment gives the 117e a sweet, seasoned quality reminiscent of a more played-in instrument.

Taylor's Grand Pacific body is a round-shoulder dreadnought designed to deliver a warm, rich acoustic voice with strong low-end power. Its bold projection makes the 117e well suited to strumming, accompaniment and a wide range of musical styles.

Layered sapele back and sides provide durable construction and complement the torrefied spruce soundboard with a balanced foundation. The Grand Pacific design helps blend the guitar's frequencies into a smooth, cohesive acoustic response.

C-Class interior bracing works with the torrefied spruce top to increase volume, sustain and bass presence. The result is a powerful and expressive acoustic voice with the warmth and depth associated with Taylor's Grand Pacific design.

The slim Taylor neck provides a comfortable, relaxed playing feel for musicians of varying experience levels. Taylor Expression System 2 electronics provide a clear amplified signal for connection to an acoustic amplifier, PA system or recording setup.
