Taylor 50th Anniversary 217e-SB LTD, Sunburst

Making its debut in Taylor Guitars' 50th Anniversary Collection, the 217e-SB Plus LTD introduces the Grand Pacific body shape to the esteemed 200 Series lineup. Layered Indian rosewood back and sides combined with a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top offer a harmonious blend of projection, warmth, and clarity. The torrefied top, adorned with a tobacco sunburst, imparts a delightful, played-in character, while Taylor's tone-enhancing C-Class bracing enhances volume, sustain, and low-end presence. The round-shoulder dreadnought body produces robust power in the bass range and resonant, expansive notes that meld together for a seasoned tone, appealing to aficionados of vintage acoustic sounds. This versatile instrument serves as an excellent all-purpose tool, adept at handling everything from strumming cowboy chords to nimble flatpicking runs to delicate fingerpicking. Limited-edition appointments include diamond fretboard inlays, gold tuners, ebony bridge pins with gold dots, and a commemorative interior back label. It comes equipped with ES2 electronics and is accompanied by a sturdy AeroCase. Production is restricted to 1,974 guitars, adding to its exclusivity and allure.
