Taylor 217e Plus, Sunburst

The Taylor 217e‑SB brings the clarity, comfort, and modern versatility of Taylor’s Grand Pacific design into an accessible, player‑friendly package. Finished in a stunning Sunburst, this model blends classic slope‑shoulder warmth with Taylor’s signature articulation, giving players a rich low‑end, smooth mids, and crisp, singing highs. The solid Sitka spruce top paired with layered Indian rosewood back and sides delivers a balanced, responsive voice that works beautifully for worship, singer‑songwriter sets, strumming, and recording.

The Grand Pacific body offers a rounder, more traditional acoustic feel while maintaining Taylor’s trademark comfort and consistency. Plugged in, the ES2 electronics provide natural, studio‑quality tone with excellent dynamic response, making the 217e‑SB a reliable performer on any stage. The tropical mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard give the guitar Taylor’s famously smooth playability, making it an easy instrument to grow with whether you’re a developing player or a seasoned musician.

Warm, expressive, and visually striking, the Taylor 217e‑SB is a fantastic choice for players who want a modern‑feeling acoustic‑electric with classic slope‑shoulder character. It’s a dependable, stage‑ready workhorse built with Taylor’s signature attention to detail.
