Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.
The Taylor Custom Grand Pacific C17e B5005 is a unique slope-shoulder acoustic that delivers a warm, rounded tone with a smooth, balanced response. Its Sitka spruce top and mahogany body create a focused, woody voice with controlled lows and clear mids, while the V-Class bracing adds sustain and consistency across the neck. The Grand Pacific shape leans toward a more relaxed, vintage-inspired sound that works well for strumming and roots styles. Finished in Pearl White with premium appointments, it stands out visually while remaining refined. Clean, warm, and easy to play, this C17e offers a comfortable, well-balanced voice.
