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 amazing result is the Grand Pacific which is connected to the solid Builder's Edition 717e innovative standards and especially the lovers of Bluegrass, Folk and Country should inspire. Accordingly, a warmly treated Sitka spruce top sits enthroned on a bod Palisander y 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, this V-Class Bracing provides improved intonation, more sustain and improved dynamic reproduction, while the nickel-plated die-cast mechanics keep the tuning clean. For the stage performance, Taylor's own ES-2 pickup is available, which transmits the guitar's outstanding sound to the amplifier with balance and natural dynamics. Last but not least, a Taylor suitcase is already included.
