With its unique round-shoulder dreadnought silhouette, revolutionary V-class bracing, and dramatically different tonal personality, Taylor's 317 Grand Pacific blazes new ground for Taylor. Featuring solid sapele back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top, this alluring acoustic guitar delivers a seductively bold and versatile tonal profile. Boasting the understated elegance of Taylor's 3 Series, the 317 Grand Pacific is graced by a curvaceous black pickguard and beautiful Italian acrylic gemstone fingerboard inlays. Its tropical mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard play flawlessly. The Taylor 317 Grand Pacific is an amazing guitar and an incredible value.
V-class bracing: a sonic revelation
Bracing is the internal framework of an acoustic guitar that helps shape its sound. Although X-bracing has been standard in acoustic guitars for over a century, it creates an innate conflict between two key elements of a guitar’s sound: volume and sustain. The guitar's top (its soundboard) contributes to both. The flexibility of the top generates volume (projection), while its stiffness generates sustain. And with X-braced guitar tops, here's where the trade-off comes in: when something is made stiffer, its flexibility is reduced (and vice versa).
