Taylor Grand Pacific Builder’s Edition 717
Taylor’s new Grand Pacific series marks a dramatic departure from classic “Taylor tone.” While many Taylors sound bright, shimmery, and modern, the Grand Pacifics sound warm, dusty, and lived-in. This round-shouldered dreadnought has a torrefied Sitka spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, and a mahogany neck with a subtle compound profile and ebony fretboard. Its innovative V-Class bracing provides phenomenal sustain and a disarmingly even harmonic spectrum.
