The Taylor 217e Plus Grand Pacific is a dreadnought-style guitar teeming with modern improvements and potent tone. This Grand Pacific’s mature presence, onboard electronics, and sumptuous playability make it ideal not only for singer/songwriters but also for studio sessions that demand signature Taylor clarity with a hint of additional power. Discerning guitarists at Sweetwater affirm the 217e Plus is an engaging player to hear and hold: a solid top made from torrefied Sitka spruce fuels unfettered musical projection with impurities removed for superior tonewood performance. Pair that with the 217e Plus’s maple neck, back, and sides and you’ve found yourself one spectacular alternative to old-school dreadnought design.

Spruce, maple, and ebony

The 217ce Plus upgrades Sitka spruce’s prized sound through torrefaction— a process similar to roasting — that removes water and naturally occurring sugars to produce a lightweight top that vibrates better than raw Sitka spruce. Layered maple back and sides form the 217ce Plus’s body, where trademark clarity and maple’s sweet sustain highlight details in your playing style. Paired with a smooth, hard-rock maple neck and an ebony fingerboard, it’s a recipe for sophisticated tones and empowering playability.

Grand Pacific dreadnought design

The 217e’s slope-shoulder Grand Pacific design is inspired by the Laurel Canyon acoustic scene that Taylor builders grew up near during the '60s and '70s. It's a slight departure from the traditional dreadnought shape with big results that are hard not to love. The Grand Pacific's sloped shoulders offer a smooth top end with full, balanced bass that pairs well with the human voice while an enlarged lower bout supplies ideal resonance for recording and gigging with personality.

Proprietary C-Class bracing

Taylor’s original C-Class bracing gives this Grand Pacific a wonderfully balanced sound that feels right at home in Taylor’s lineup. Initially developed for the Grand Theater body shape, C-Class bracing is cantilevered and asymmetrical, with an optimized response inspired by Taylor’s acclaimed V-Class bracing. Borrowed V-Class elements let C-Class bracing heighten your soundboard’s response with greater dynamic sensitivity. What’s more, C-Class bracing adds warmth, maturity, and focus to your bass strings by reigning in low-end woody frequencies, making it a natural addition to any Grand Pacific shape.

Expression System 2 electronics

Need to plug in? Then you’re going to love the 217e’s built-in ES2 electronics! The ES2 system features a revolutionary segmented pickup located behind the bridge saddle; this pickup position delivers remarkably accurate and clear sound production that’s authentic to your playing. Each ES2 system features a handy master volume knob for fast level adjustments, in addition to a 2-band EQ for independent treble/bass adjustments to get the sound you need. Plus, the ES2 system also has a built-in phase switch, which offers essential feedback suppression whenever the system is active.
