The 317e V-Class by Taylor is an innovative all solid Round Shoulder Dreadnought with special features and an unusually warm sound image for Taylor, which will surely delight all Bluegrass, Folk and Country fans. Taylor's masterbuilder Andy Powers skilfully combines a modern construction with an almost traditional sound in this Grand Pacific. Compliant with the 300 Series, a Sitka spruce top sits enthroned on a Sapele body and together with Taylor's patented V-class bracing provides a powerful and warm sound with balanced sustain and improved intonation. The wider waist helps to create a powerful but clearly defined bass response, whereas the mid and high frequencies are reproduced in a more balanced manner. At the same time the Grand Pacific reacts unusually dynamically to the guitarist.
In addition, a compensated Micarta saddle ensures clean intonation and optimal resonance transmission, whereas the nickel-plated tuners keep the tuning clean. Gemstone Italian Acrylic inlays have been implemented in the fretboard and headstock as a visual treat.
For use on stage, the Taylor's own ES-2 pickup was implemented, which transmits the outstanding sound of the electric guitar to the amplifier with natural balance and dynamics. Last but not least, the Taylor 317e V-Class comes with a case.
