TAYLOR BUILDERS ED GP SPRC/RSWD ES2 WITH CASE

Description

DEMO - VERY SMALL NICK ON TOP

Builder's Edition 717e WHB

A Wild Honey Burst top and low-sheen finish heighten the old-soul aesthetic appeal of this Builder's Edition Grand Pacific, which builds on a long tradition of rosewood/spruce dreadnoughts but breaks new ground with an entirely new Taylor sound. The round-shoulder dreadnought shape, featuring Taylor's award-winning V-Class bracing, produces warm, seasoned acoustic tone in which individual notes overlap and blend smoothly together, while the low-end power common among dreadnoughts boasts greater clarity here. V-Class brings extra punch and sustain, along with improved intonation and musicality across the entire frequency spectrum. Together with rosewood's harmonic complexity and the played-in sound of the torrefied spruce top, players can expect rich, luxurious tonal character from top to bottom. For musicians that prefer to play plugged-in, the Expression System 2 (ES2) is Taylor's patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured.
