Among first models released with the Grand Pacific body style, the 317e offers both all-around versatility and unmistakable dreadnought warmth. Sapele back and sides with a Sitka spruce top, all solid, provide a balanced response across the frequency spectrum, generating warm lows and a punchy midrange complemented by shimmering treble tones. Built with the tone-boosting V-Class bracing architecture, the Taylor 317e will inspire guitarists across genres and playing styles.
“A cool sounding dreadnought at a comfortable price, this 317e can be punchy, round, warm, or subtle, it all depends on the player.” - Ian, Taylor Guitars Expert at Rudy's Music
