Solid top

The Taylor 217ce Special Edition Honeyburst impresses with an overwhelmingly big sound. At its heart is the solid top made from torrefied spruce. The special heat treatment gives the wood a matured structure, which ensures a particularly open response and a well-rehearsed sound. The in-house C-Class bracing particularly supports the vibration of the top and promotes stability and dynamics. Clearly defined trebles produce a brilliant sound with remarkable projection. The laminated maple back and sides complement the tone with a focused mid-range structure and long sustain. The result is a lively sound that is convincing for both strumming and fingerstyle playing and gives the Grand Pacific an impressive tonal presence.

Ergonomic construction

The slim maple neck with standard carve profile is comfortable and balanced in the hand, as its ergonomic shape supports a natural hand position and enables effortless gripping in all positions. The ebony fingerboard also offers a particularly smooth, direct response. Ebony stands for durability and precise sound transmission, which is reflected in a quick response to every nuance of playing. The 42.8 mm wide nut made of Nubone ensures comfortable string spacing and supports clean tone development both when strumming and flatpicking. In addition, the cutaway extends the range comfortably into the high registers and enables effortless soloing without restrictions.

Taylor Expression System 2

The Taylor Expression System 2 stands for a particularly natural and dynamic sound transmission of acoustic guitars. In contrast to conventional systems, the ES2 captures the vibrations directly behind the nut using an innovative sensor concept. This means that the movement of the top is picked up precisely and converted into a detailed, authentic signal. The result is a transparent, open sound with clear articulation and impressive dynamics. The finest nuances in the touch are transmitted in a differentiated manner, while chords unfold their full depth and breadth. The integrated controls can be used to adjust the volume and sound character in a variety of ways so that the instrument fits perfectly into different musical contexts.

Honeyburst finish

The guitar is rounded off with an expressive yet elegant look. The honeyburst finish gives the top a lively coloration with a gentle gradient and emphasizes the natural grain of the wood. The high-gloss surface creates a sophisticated touch with playful spikes. The black pickguard provides a striking contrast to the warm burst tone and stylishly rounds off the overall look. It emphasizes the classic acoustic guitar character and blends harmoniously into the coherent design concept. Overall, the 217ce Special Edition Honeyburst combines timeless aesthetics with an independent appearance and cuts an outstanding figure wherever it is played.
