What is A Grand Pacific Guitar?

The new Grand Pacific body shape is a fantastic evolution of the traditional dreadnought guitar shape.

This new round-shouldered dreadnought gives you a more versatile performance than what you can expect from a standard dreadnought.

Dreadnought guitars are known for delivering a broad range of tones with big low end, however the sound is quite muddy with the notes being cloudy.

The Taylor 717 Grand Pacific guitar gives you the same broad range and great low-end but with greater definition and more clarity.

This gives you the power you’d want from a bluegrass guitar but with the playing comfort and crisp clarity that singer-songwriters and fingerstyle players require.

Crafting the Taylor Builder’s Edition 717

The Taylor Builder’s Edition 717 acoustic guitar carries on the long tradition of Rosewood back and side, Spruce top dreadnought guitars.

Torrefied Sitka Spruce is used for the top of the Taylor 717, as it delivers loud, rich and resonant tone with the character of a beautifully aged guitar from day one.

This beautiful tone is complemented by the added resonance and deep, warm bass brought in by the Indian Rosewood back and sides.

V-Class bracing can be found under the hood of the Taylor Builder’s Edition 717. Breaking away from the usual X-style bracing, V-class bracing drastically changes the way the top vibrates, giving you more powerful projection and enhanced sustain.

Exclusive Builder’s Edition Features

Adding to the prestige and playability of the Taylor Builder’s Edition 717 acoustic guitar it boasts some great exclusive features.

A new compound-carve neck profile which has been designed to complement the way your fretting hand shifts position as you move around the neck.

It has a subtle V shape at the nut that gradually transitions to a rounded C closer to the rounded, ridgeless neck heel. The comfort and playability of this neck is further enhanced by its rolled fretboard edges.

Furthermore, the Grand Pacific body features chamfered body edges making it even more comfortable to hold.

You’ll also find that the bridge features a new curve wing shape with rounder edges and refined contouring which gives your pick hand a more comfortable playing experience.
