Taylor Builder's Edition 517th Grand Pacific Wild Honey Burst

Tropical Mahogany in a Wild Honey Burst: the Builder's Edition 517e that Stands Out on Any Stage

The Taylor Builder's Edition 517e Grand Pacific Wild Honey Burst is an instrument that immediately draws attention, both visually and acoustically. The Wild Honey Burst finish gives the guitar a warm, organic look that matches the character of the wood: Tropical Mahogany back and sides, a wood known for its direct, focused midrange and warm tone. The Grand Pacific body, Taylor's slope-shoulder interpretation of the classic Dreadnought, enhances that character with a full, round sound that is grand without becoming undefined.

The V-Class bracing elevates the 517e to another level. The projection is powerful and balanced; every note sounds clear and defined, both low and high on the neck. This makes the guitar exceptionally versatile: powerful enough for strumming on stage, nuanced enough for fingerpicking in the studio. The Tropical Mahogany neck with an ebony fretboard feels comfortable and plays smoothly across the entire range. The Expression System 2 pickup delivers a natural amplified sound that fully preserves the warm tone of the mahogany.

The Builder's Edition finish means extra attention to detail: rounded edges, a comfortable armrest, and a refined finish that enhances playing comfort. The guitar comes with a luxurious hardshell case.

The Taylor Builder's Edition 517e Grand Pacific Wild Honey Burst is for the guitarist who seeks an instrument that stands out, sounds warm, and is a pleasure to play day after day.
