Full Grand Pacific solid with Sitka spruce top, carcass made of Palisander wood and case
Inspired by Taylor's patented V-Class Bracing Master Builder Andy Powers decided to create an innovative Round Shoulder Dreadnought which combines a traditional sound with an unprecedented modern sound. The astounding result is the Grand Pacific one that is achieved with the fully massive Builder's Edition 717 innovative standards and especially the lovers of Bluegrass, Folk and Country should inspire. Accordingly, a warmly treated Sitka spruce top sits enthroned on a body Palisander and, together with the Round Shoulder Dreadnought body, provides a warm and powerful sound with distinctive mid-range, tight bass and radiant treble.
In addition, the V-Class Bracing improved intonation, more sustain and improved dynamic reproduction, while the nickel-plated die-cast mechanics keep the tuning clean. Last but not least, a Taylor suitcase is already included.
