Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: At least half of the frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. The truss rod and bridge required only and were adjusted to, a small degree. No further work was needed.

The Taylor AD17 is a truly exceptional acoustic guitar, blending the rich, resilient tones of a Sitka Spruce top with resonant Ovangkol back and sides for a sound that is both clear and beautifully complex. This instrument is not just a guitar; it's a stellar investment in your musical future, offering professional quality and superb playability at an attainable price. The neck, crafted from smooth Tropical Mahogany and topped with a sleek Eucalyptus fingerboard, invites your fingers to glide effortlessly across its 25.5" scale. Featuring high-quality components like the Black Tusq nut and precise Taylor Nickel tuners, this acoustic powerhouse is ready to be your main stage companion.
