A Perfect Fusion of Tonewood and Body Shape
The Taylor 417e Indian Rosewood Acoustic-Electric Guitar is a masterful blend of classic tonewoods and innovative design, delivering a rich, seasoned sound that suits a wide range of musical applications. The Grand Pacific dreadnought body shape, known for its warm, rounded tone, is perfectly matched with the rosewood/spruce combination, making this guitar a versatile tool for songwriters, performers, and recording artists alike.
Rich, Balanced Sound with Lush Overtones
Crafted with solid Indian rosewood back and sides, the 417e produces a lush, blooming tone with clear low-end power, shimmering trebles, and a subtly scooped midrange. This tonal balance makes it an excellent choice for ensemble play, allowing the guitar to blend beautifully with other instruments while still standing out with its distinct voice. The solid Sitka spruce top further enhances the guitar’s dynamic range, making it responsive to a variety of playing styles, from gentle fingerpicking to powerful strumming.
Enhanced Volume and Sustain with V-Class Bracing
Taylor’s revolutionary V-Class bracing, featured in the 417e, marks a significant departure from traditional bracing patterns. This innovative design boosts the guitar’s volume and sustain while improving intonation across the fretboard. The result is a guitar that sounds richer, fuller, and more in tune, whether you’re playing open chords or complex voicings up the neck.
Premium Electronics for Pristine Amplification
When it’s time to plug in, the 417e’s Expression System® 2 (ES2) electronics deliver a clear, authentic amplified sound that faithfully captures the guitar’s natural tonal qualities. The behind-the-saddle pickup design ensures that every nuance of your performance is heard, making this guitar a reliable companion for stage and studio work.
Elegant Aesthetics with Modern Touches
The 417e is as visually striking as it is sonically impressive. It features a sunburst top finish that adds a vintage flair to its appearance, while the new Finial inlays offer a contemporary touch to the fretboard. These aesthetic details complement the guitar’s timeless design, making it a beautiful addition to any collection.
Deluxe Protection Included
To safeguard your investment, the Taylor 417e comes with a deluxe hardshell case, providing top-tier protection during transport and storage.
