Taylor 217e Plus Special Edition - honeyburst

Series 200. Made in Mexico. The TAYLOR 217e Plus Special Edition (Honey Sunburst Gloss) steel-string acoustic guitar features a solid torrefied Sitka Spruce top, a laminated back and sides (Big Leaf Maple), a Neotropical Mahogany neck, an Ebony fingerboard and the Expression System ES2 preamp. The Grand Pacific jig is a reinterpretation of the popular Dreadnought Round Shoulder with wider "hips". It produces warm, powerful tones, particularly in the low register, yet retains remarkable clarity and musicality.

Sitka Spruce is the traditional choice for the vast majority of acoustic guitars. Thanks to a perfect balance between robustness and elasticity, Sitka generates a direct, punchy sound with impeccable articulation. In addition to giving the wood an attractive patina, the torrefaction process improves tuning stability, sustain, clarity and resonance. Big Leaf Maple (acer macrophyllum) is prized for its appealing aesthetics, producing clear, powerful, present, direct, woody tones. It faithfully reflects the guitarist's personality.Taylor Expression System 2 Preamp: in order to faithfully reflect the amplitude and fundamental character of their acoustics, it took Taylor several years to develop the Expression System (ES). Thanks to new sensors and a substantially redesigned circuit, Expression System 2 offers even greater responsiveness and dynamics, and according to Taylor, around 25% more warmth.
