The 50th Anniversary collection showcases a wide array of Taylor’s original contributions to the world of guitar making. This all-new limited-edition 200 Series acoustic-electric highlights the Grand Pacific body shape, a round-shoulder dreadnought first introduced in 2019. Back then, Taylor brought the Grand Pacific into the world with a pair of premium Builder’s Edition guitars; since then, we’ve rolled it out across the 300, 400 and American Dream Series. This versatile, warm-voiced design is now available in the more accessibly priced layered-wood lineup.
Back/Sides: Layered Indian Rosewood
Top: Torrefied Sitka Spruce
Body Shape: Grand Pacific
Fretboard: West African Ebony
Bracing: C-Class
Electronics: ES2
Case: Brown AeroCase
Crafted with layered Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top, the 50th Anniversary 217e-SB Plus LTD boasts an alluring tobacco sunburst top treatment with a gloss-finish body. Sonically, players can expect bold projection with a warm, seasoned quality, yielding notes that blend and overlap into a seamless whole. That neo-vintage charm gets a boost from our C-Class interior bracing, which adds more volume, longer sustain and improved low-end power and clarity. The torrefaction process—a special roasting technique—brings out a mature, aged-in tonal quality, adding a touch of extra warmth along with a depth and sweetness you’d expect from an older, more played-in instrument.
Like Taylor's other layered-wood guitars, this model features a slightly narrower nut width of 1-11/16 inches; paired with the slender Taylor neck profile, this allows players of all skill levels and styles to navigate the fretboard with ease.
Along with its striking finish treatment, this Grand Pacific acoustic-electric sports black binding with black/white/black top edge trim, a single-ring Italian acrylic rosette, specially designed 50th Anniversary diamond fretboard inlays in Italian acrylic, gold hardware, and a black pickguard. It includes ES2 electronics for faithful plugged-in tone and ships with a lightweight, sturdy AeroCase for protection and storage.
