Taylor Limited 50th Anniversary 217e-SB Plus Grand Pacific Spruce/Rosewood Tobacco Sunburst Top

Taylor Limited 50th Anniversary 217e-SB Plus Grand Pacific Spruce/Rosewood Tobacco Sunburst Top
Who could have predicted that a small guitar shop started by Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug back in 1974 would grow into an innovative industry leader? For its 50th Anniversary year, Taylor has designed this commemorative limited edition 217e-SB Plus Grand Pacific, featuring a stunning Tobacco Sunburst top. All 50th Anniversary models also feature a commemorative 50th Anniversary label inside each guitar and ebony bridge pins featuring gold acrylic dots.

200 Series
Taylor’s 200 series is crafted with solid tops for optimal projection, clarity, and tonal balance—so, whether you’re a new player on the hunt for inspiration from a new instrument, or an experienced guitarist looking for an accessible pro-level tool, a Taylor 200 series will cover just about any application. The solid Sitka spruce top on each of these 200 series guitars generates a punchy, bold voice with clear projection and power—with a dash of warmth and sparkle from the layered rosewood back and sides, adding a beloved acoustic guitar aesthetic in a durable, affordable package.

Grand Pacific
The Grand Pacific is Taylor’s round-shoulder dreadnought, designed to deliver a different flavor of Taylor tone: a warm, seasoned voice in which notes overlap in a way that recalls traditional acoustic guitar recordings, requiring no studio enhancements. With Taylor’s V-Class bracing, the Grand Pacific pumps out clear low-end power, making the Grand Pacific’s voice more musical and usable, while remaining as versatile as a Grand Auditorium and as assertive as a traditional dreadnought.

V-Class Bracing
The Taylor Grand Pacific features Taylor’s innovative new V-Class bracing, which lets the soundboard of the guitar vibrate naturally, increasing sustain and overall cohesiveness, and generating additional volume without sacrificing sustain. This design puts the body more in tune with the strings, improving articulation and harmonic alignment,  resulting in a sound that is optimally warm and seasoned, nicely blended, and full of luscious low end without being muddy.

ES2 Electronics
The Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) delivers the latest technology in Taylor acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the ES2 system is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, featuring three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The new positioning enables the piezo pickup’s crystals to respond more naturally to the guitar’s energy as it is transferred through the saddle, with three pickup sensors installed behind the saddle, through the bridge, with three tiny Allen screws that calibrate the position of the sensors in relation to the saddle. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed preamp, this ES2 system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness.
