Today Brett is tackling the Taylor 717E Grand Pacific Builder's Edition. The Grand Pacific Series, of course, has the V-class bracing, but these guitars also pack some serious tone and sound. The guitar Brett is playing has a Sitka spruce top, rosewood back and sides, west African Ebony fretboard, fretboard binding, headstock overlay, and bridge. This guitar sustains, it is loud, it truly does it all.
