Taylor 117e Grand Pacific Left-Handed Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

The Taylor 117e-LH-24 is a beautifully crafted left-handed acoustic-electric guitar that brings the unique voice of Taylor's Grand Pacific body shape to southpaw players. This affordable and great-sounding instrument features a torrefied Sitka spruce top and layered sapele back and sides, delivering a powerful and balanced tone that's perfect for a variety of playing styles and musical genres.

Grand Pacific Body Shape — A New Flavor of Sound

The Grand Pacific body shape offers a warm and seasoned sound with broad, round notes that blend together harmoniously. It's a departure from the focused, precise sound of Taylor's Grand Auditorium shape, offering a more powerful and projective voice that's ideal for flatpickers, strummers, and fingerstyle players alike. The Grand Pacific eliminates the problematic low-end woofiness often associated with dreadnought-style guitars while retaining a warm and musical bass response.

Torrefied Sitka Spruce Top and Layered Sapele Back and Sides — A Balanced and Dynamic Tone

The 117e-LH-24 features a torrefied Sitka spruce top, which enhances the wood's tonal properties, resulting in a richer, more responsive sound with increased volume and sustain. The layered sapele back and sides provide a sturdy and resonant foundation for the guitar's voice, complementing the spruce top with warmth and clarity. This combination of tonewoods creates a balanced and dynamic sound that's perfect for a wide range of musical styles.

Expression System 2 Electronics — Pristine Amplified Tone

The 117e-LH-24 is equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, ensuring that your amplified tone is as rich and expressive as your acoustic sound. This innovative pickup design features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors, capturing the nuances of your playing with exceptional clarity. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the ES2 delivers a natural and faithful amplified sound.

Designed for Comfort and Playability

The 117e-LH-24 features Taylor's renowned neck profile, known for its exceptional comfort and playability. This neck shape allows for effortless movement up and down the fretboard, making it easy to explore different playing styles and techniques. The guitar also comes with a durable Taylor structured gig bag for added protection and easy portability.
