217e-SB Plus
Crafted with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, our Grand Pacific round-shoulder dreadnought body shape and tone-enhancing internal bracing, the 217e Plus SB Plus offers players a premium acoustic playing experience with a rich, powerful voice. Thanks to our proprietary roasting process for the spruce top, this model yields bold projection with a warm, aged-in quality and clear low-end power, adding up to a seasoned neo-vintage sound that’s sure to provide inspiration for players of all skill levels. A slender Taylor neck ensures smooth, relaxed fretting across the frequency spectrum, and built-in ES2 electronics produce clear, organic tone whenever you need to plug in. This Plus model features upgraded appointments such as a full-body gloss finish and a striking sunburst top treatment, and includes a sturdy, lightweight AeroCase for storage and transportation.

Grand Pacific
This round-shoulder dreadnought delivers a new flavor of warm, rich Taylor tone.

Indian Rosewood
The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.

Torrefied Spruce
Treated with our special roasting process, torrefied spruce tops deliver all the clarity, balance and projection you’d expect from a traditional spruce top with an extra dash of warmth and played-in depth.
