V-Class Bracing Unlocks the True Voice of Premium Tonewoods

Taylor's V-Class bracing helps the torrefied Sitka spruce top, and Indian rosewood back and sides reach their full potential. V-Class bracing creates purer, more resonant notes that don't cancel each other out, bringing the 717e Grand Pacific's overall tone into greater sonic alignment for an immersive playing experience. The result is exceptional dynamic range, crisp articulation and a bold, complex voice unlike any other dreadnought.

ES2 Electronics Deliver a High-Fidelity Plugged-In Experience

The 717e Grand Pacific features Taylor's revolutionary ES2 electronics, including three uniquely positioned pickup sensors and an ergonomic preamp with bass, treble and volume controls. Because the pickups sit behind the saddle, the bottom of the saddle remains in full contact with the bridge, allowing all the nuance of the guitar's acoustic tone to shine through whether unplugged or amplified. The ES2 faithfully conveys the 717e Grand Pacific's voice through any PA, amplifier or recording software.

A Pleasure to Play, Joy to Hear

From the compound carve neck profile to the chamfered body edges, every detail of the 717e Grand Pacific is crafted for playing comfort. Its round shoulder dreadnought silhouette produces a tonal profile that is seductively bold yet versatile. Whether fingerpicking, strumming or flatpicking, the 717e Grand Pacific rewards musicians with a resonant, organic tone and flawless intonation up and down the neck.
