Overview

Making its debut in our 50th Anniversary Collection, this 217e-SB Plus LTD introduces the Grand Pacific body shape to the 200 Series. Layered Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top offer a pleasing blend of projection, warmth and clarity. The torrefied top, decked out with a tobacco sunburst, yields a sweet, played-in character, while our tone-enhancing C-Class bracing adds more volume, sustain and low-end presence. The round-shoulder dreadnought body delivers clear power in the bass range and round, broad notes that overlap for a seasoned tone that's sure to entice fans of vintage acoustic sounds. It makes a great all-purpose instrument, perfect for everything from strumming cowboy chords to flatpicking runs to softer fingerpicking. Limited-edition appointments include diamond fretboard inlays, gold tuners, ebony bridge pins with gold dots and a commemorative interior back label. It ships with ES2 electronics and a sturdy AeroCase. Production is limited to 1,974 guitars.
