Overview

Crafted with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, our Grand Pacific round-shoulder dreadnought body shape and tone-enhancing internal bracing, the 217e Plus SB Plus offers players a premium acoustic playing experience with a rich, powerful voice. Thanks to our proprietary roasting process for the spruce top, this model yields bold projection with a warm, aged-in quality and clear low-end power, adding up to a seasoned neo-vintage sound that's sure to provide inspiration for players of all skill levels. A slender Taylor neck ensures smooth, relaxed fretting across the frequency spectrum, and built-in ES2 electronics produce clear, organic tone whenever you need to plug in. This Plus model features upgraded appointments such as a full-body gloss finish and a striking sunburst top treatment, and includes a sturdy, lightweight AeroCase for storage and transportation.
