The 217e Plus SB combines vintage-inspired craftsmanship with modern playability to create an acoustic-electric guitar that speaks with authority and warmth. Built around Taylor’s Grand Pacific round-shoulder dreadnought body shape, this instrument features a torrefied Sitka spruce top that has been specially roasted to develop the rich, seasoned voice typically found in well-aged guitars. The result is powerful low-end clarity paired with the nuanced responsiveness that discerning players demand across a wide dynamic range.
Taylor’s ES2 electronics system ensures your amplified tone remains natural and true to the guitar’s acoustic character, making it equally at home on stage or in the studio. The Plus Series appointments add visual appeal with a striking dusky sunburst gloss finish complemented by nickel hardware, while the comfortable neck profile makes fretting effortless during extended playing sessions.
This refined package includes Taylor’s lightweight yet rugged AeroCase, providing reliable protection for musicians on the move. The 217e Plus SB represents an ideal balance of projection and subtlety, making it a versatile companion for home practice, studio recording, or live performance.
