Taylor 217e-BLK Plus
The 217e-BLK Plus introduces the neo-vintage sound of our Grand Pacific body shape to the 200 Series for the first time. Built with layered maple back and sides and a solid torrefied spruce top, this acoustic-electric round-shoulder dreadnought delivers bold projection with a warm, seasoned character. Thanks to the C-Class bracing inside, it offers ample volume, sustain, and low-end power. The roasting process applied to the spruce top adds extra depth and sweetness to its response, resembling the tone of a well-played, older guitar. With its striking all-black finish, easy-playing neck, and built-in ES2 electronics, the 217e-BLK Plus provides broad musical versatility in a visually appealing package that is sure to stand out in any setting.
