2026 Taylor 117e Special Edition

The 2026 Taylor 117e Special Edition combines the warm, balanced voice of Taylor's Grand Pacific body shape with distinctive vintage-inspired styling and modern acoustic-electric versatility. Featuring a spruce top paired with layered sapele back and sides, this round-shoulder dreadnought delivers a rich, full-bodied sound with clear articulation and a pleasing low-end response. Taylor's C-Class bracing enhances sustain and bass response while maintaining clarity across the frequency range. The Dark Tobacco Teardrop finish on the top contrasts beautifully with the natural sapele back and sides, while matte finishes, black binding, and a traditional three-ring rosette complete the guitar's understated appearance.

The comfortable Standard Carve neck is paired with a smoked eucalyptus fingerboard featuring elegant faux pearl dot inlays, offering smooth playability across the 25-1/2" scale length. A 1-11/16" nut width provides a familiar feel for both strumming and fingerstyle playing, while the smoked eucalyptus bridge and chrome tuning machines complete the guitar's practical appointments. Equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, the 117e Special Edition delivers a natural amplified sound that captures the warmth and dynamic response of its Grand Pacific body. Whether played acoustically or plugged in, this special edition Taylor offers an excellent combination of traditional dreadnought character, modern performance, and distinctive styling.
