Details
This Builder’s Edition 517 was crafted in 2018 in Taylor's El Cajon, California, facility with mahogany back and sides and a torrefied Sitka spruce top and a Wild Honey Burst sunburst. It’s in excellent structural and cosmetic condition. There's a faint hint of fret wear, and a little glossy rubbing of the top finish in the pickguard position. We’re big fans of Taylor Grand Pacific models, which are essentially a round-shouldered, or slope-shoulder, Dreadnought. This model has Builder's Edition features like chamfered edges, a compound-carve neck profile and a Silent Satin finish to reduce incidental noise.Taylor's V-Class top bracing offers more headroom than even the strongest player will probably need and yet it still responds to a light touch. The mahogany back and sides and torrefied spruce top have the strong fundamental focus and midrange presence that characterizes that tonewood combination. It does not have a pickup. Includes the original hardshell case, which is in equally clean condition.
