The Taylor 117e marks a significant milestone as the inaugural guitar in the 100 Series to showcase the Grand Pacific round-shoulder dreadnought body shape, bringing together seasoned craftsmanship with neo-vintage character. This acoustic-electric guitar combines layered sapele back and sides with a solid torrefied spruce top, creating a warm tonal foundation that offers clear projection alongside impressive low-end power.
Taylor's specialised roasting process for the spruce top introduces a mature, aged-in sweetness that adds depth to the instrument's voice. The innovative C-Class interior bracing system enhances volume, sustain and presence throughout the bass range, whilst the slender neck profile ensures comfortable playability for musicians at any skill level.
Complete with built-in ES2 electronics, the 117e provides an engaging playing experience that suits both new learners taking their first steps and working musicians seeking reliable performance. The combination of premium construction techniques and thoughtful design elements makes this guitar an excellent choice for players seeking quality and versatility.
