Grand Pacific Acoustic Electric with torrefied spruce, ES2 electronics and round-shoulder warmth

Overview

The Taylor 117e Special Edition Acoustic Electric in Dark Tobacco Teardrop Burst w/Gig Bag pairs Taylor’s round-shoulder Grand Pacific body style with a warm, vintage-inspired look and modern plugged-in utility. Its torrefied spruce top helps produce a more seasoned acoustic response, while layered sapele back and sides add balance and durability for everyday playing. With C-Class bracing, ES2 electronics, a smoked eucalyptus fretboard and soft gig bag, this special-edition 117e is a strong choice for players who want a fuller acoustic voice with Taylor comfort and reliability.

Features

The Grand Pacific body shape gives the 117e Special Edition a rounder, more traditional acoustic personality with strong projection and a broad, blended response. It is a great fit for strummers, flatpickers and singer-songwriters who prefer the feel and sound of a non-cutaway round-shoulder dreadnought-style instrument.

The torrefied spruce top contributes warmth, sweetness and a more played-in character, giving the guitar an inviting sound right away. Layered sapele back and sides provide balanced support and dependable construction, making the instrument practical for regular practice, rehearsal and stage use.

C-Class bracing helps increase sustain, volume and harmonic balance, while ES2 electronics make the guitar ready for amplified performance. Black binding, a black pickguard, chrome tuning machines and Italian acrylic dot inlays complete the vintage-inspired presentation, and the included soft gig bag makes it easy to take the guitar to lessons, sessions and gigs.
