The Taylor 217e Plus Special Edition Grand Pacific in Honeyburst channels the spirit of classic round-shoulder dreadnoughts while delivering the precision and playability Taylor is known for. When Taylor introduced the Grand Pacific body shape, it marked a shift toward a warmer, more seasoned tonal character — less overt shimmer, more fundamental punch. This Special Edition builds on that foundation with a stunning full-gloss Honey Sunburst finish and upgraded appointments that give it a distinctive vintage vibe with modern reliability.

At the heart of this guitar is a solid torrefied spruce top. Through Taylor’s roasting process, the top takes on a matured, played-in warmth typically associated with older instruments, while retaining the clarity and projection of fresh spruce. Paired with C-Class bracing, the 217e Plus offers enhanced sustain, stronger low-end presence, and a focused, woody response. The round-shoulder Grand Pacific body shape produces a dry, punchy voice with powerful fundamentals — perfect for roots rock, country, Americana, folk strumming, and singer-songwriter accompaniment. This acoustic offers a clear choice for players looking for clear bass, warm mids, and a smooth, controlled top end that sits beautifully in a mix.

Plugged in, Taylor’s Expression System 2 captures the guitar’s dynamic range and natural tone with impressive detail, making it equally at home on stage or in the studio. Complete with gold hardware, white binding, black pickguard, and a protective AeroCase, this Grand Pacific blends throwback aesthetics with forward-thinking design — built for players who want vintage flavor without sacrificing modern performance. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
