The combination of rosewood and spruce tonewoods provides a warm tone and lush rich overtones that perfectly complement the Grand Pacific Deadnought body shape. In the 417e, this combination delivers a seasoned, natural response with crisp low-end power, silky highs, and slightly scooped midrange. Perfect for everything from songwriting to ensemble playing to recording. Taylor's V-Class bracing design adds more volume and longer sustain, and the onboard ES2 electronics deliver clear, authentic tone whenever you need to plug in. Aesthetic details include a sunburst top finish and new Finial inlays. Overview Grand Pacific This round-shouldered dreadnought offers a new take on warm, rich Taylor tones. Indian Rosewood The tonewood favourite. Renowned, classic, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the best tonewoods ever.

Expression System® 2 The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a groundbreaking behind-the-saddle design. Venetian Cutaway The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, curved lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway varies depending on the body shape.
