Taylor 517 ‘Natural’ Preowned 2019 Taylor

With its unique round-shoulder dreadnought silhouette, revolutionary V-Class Bracing, and dramatically different tonal personality, Taylor’s 517 Grand Pacific Builder’s Edition blazes new ground for Taylor. Featuring premium all-solid tonewoods — neo-tropical mahogany for the back and sides and a torrefied Sitka spruce top — this alluring acoustic guitar delivers a seductively bold and versatile tonal profile. As your eyes drink in this instrument’s understated elegance, your hands savour its flawless playability while your ears revel in its warm, rich, organic tone. The 517 Grand Pacific Builder’s Edition is a feast for the senses.

The 517 Grand Pacific features back and sides of solid, responsibly sourced Neo-Tropical mahogany and a top of torrefied solid Sitka spruce with Taylor’s tone-enhancing V-Class bracing, which takes the guitar’s native versatility to an entirely new level. The torrefication process thermally cures the wood to deliver a more played-in tone, and together with the V-Class bracing, gives you a highly responsive and expressive instrument with increased dynamic range, robust projection and sustain, and harmonic synergy when chording up the entire fingerboard.

This 2019 model is in wonderful condition, with barely any playwear whatsoever and a fantastic medium action. It’s a more modern take on the classic slope shoulder sound, with stunning clarity and harmonic complexity, and the playability is superb. A wonderful songwriting companion! Includes original hardshell case.
