Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 217e Plus Special-Edition pairs Taylor’s Grand Pacific body with a solid torrefied spruce top and layered big leaf maple back and sides. C-Class bracing shapes the guitar’s broad, controlled response, with the source describing strong fundamentals, focused bass, and clear separation under heavier strumming. Its hard rock maple neck carries a standard Taylor profile, 25.5-inch scale, and ebony fingerboard. ES2 electronics provide volume, bass, treble, and phase controls for amplified stage, room, or recording setups.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Strummed acoustic parts that need strong fundamentals, controlled bass, and defined note separation.
- Ensemble or recording work where the described focused, microphone-friendly response is useful.
- Carrying the instrument in the supplied lightweight Taylor AeroCase.
