It’s in excellent, lightly played condition with just a hint of fret wear. We're big fans of Taylor Grand Pacific models with their slope-shouldered dreadnought silhouette. They have a warm, rounded timbre and a clear low-end power that is well suited to just about any style. This guitar has mahogany back and sides and a torrefied Sitka spruce top with Wild Honey Burst sunburst. This tonewood combination produces a guitar that balances projection and clarity with mellow warmth in the low end. \r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eThis model has Builder's Edition features like chamfered edges, a compound-carve neck profile and a Silent Satin finish to reduce incidental noise.  This guitar has Taylor's V-Class top bracing, which offers more headroom than even the strongest player will probably need and yet it still responds to a light touch.  Try fingerpicking this Taylor and you'll be surprised at how well it responds to a light touch! Includes a Taylor hardshell case.\r\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Taylor Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43151063646407,"sku":"TAYBE517EWHB-1212012131","price":2804.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4947\/3991\/files\/1114341.jpg?v=1787159446"},{"product_id":"taylor-818e-acoustic-electric-guitar-retired-new-15118","title":"Taylor 818e Acoustic Electric Guitar Retired- New","description":"The 818e features Taylor’s largest body style, the Grand Orchestra, but its silhouette makes it surprisingly comfortable to play sitting down. It’s crafted from Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce which produces a warm, balanced tone. This guitar is loud, as you would expect from a big guitar like this, but it also responds well to a light touch. There aren’t many guitars out there that work equally well for hard strumming and light fingerpicking, but the 818e is one of them. The 818e has a subtle Antique Blonde top finish, Mission inlays in mother-of-pearl and abalone, and a paua shell single-ring rosette. It includes ES2 electronics and a deluxe hardshell case with a Western Floral pattern.","brand":"Taylor Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43301341757639,"sku":"TAY818E-1204063084","price":3399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4947\/3991\/files\/1117571.jpg?v=1787158556"},{"product_id":"taylor-gs-mini-e-special-edition-trans-white-acoustic-electric-guitar-retired-new-20334","title":"Taylor GS Mini-e Special Edition Trans White Acoustic Electric Guitar Retired- New","description":"The Taylor GS Mini-e Special Edition Trans White has a color treatment on the top that subtly reveals the grain the Sitka spruce. The addition of a vivid firestripe pickguard creates a striking visual contrast against the white soundboard.

Why? Simply because this little powerhouse does so many different things so well.
