Taylor

“Featuring the Grand Pacific dreadnought body shape, exclusive comfort features and top-tier tonewoods, the Builder's Edition 517e WHB introduces Taylor players to a new kind of sound within our lineup. Solid mahogany back and sides generate a warm, punchy midrange response with projection and aged-in warmth from the torrefied Sitka spruce top, resulting in a blended, seasoned tone with clear low-end power. Our V-Class bracing enhances the response with more volume and longer sustain while also providing greater harmony between notes. This Builder's Edition model also boasts chamfered edges and a compound-carve neck profile for a more seamless feel, and the Silent Satin finish reduces incidental playing noise for recording applications.” – From the Taylor Website

 Taylor’s sloped-shoulder dreadnought, The Grand Pacific, is a phenomenal addition to the line, and this particular 517 is no exception.  Its depth and size provide warmth and balance to the well known Taylor brightness. It is a more than suitable finger style instrument, while its natural projection ensures it is a classic strummer’s guitar. Aesthetically, its tasteful appointments and satin finish make it classy enough for a night on the town, without being gaudy or ostentatious. This would be a natural choice for a wide range of players over a wide berth of styles.

 Condition

This guitar is remarkably clean, showing virtually no signs of playwear with the exception of some very minor scuffs on the top and back indicating limited play wear.  As such, we would consider this guitar to be in EXCEPTIONALLY FINE CONDITION.
