Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: Some of the frets were polished and made to be level with the other frets. One of the nut slots on the guitar required work to ensure the string was sitting at the proper height. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. No further work was needed.

Experience acoustic artistry with this right-handed Taylor Builders Edition 517—a true investment in your sound! Featuring revolutionary V-Class bracing and a resonant Torrefied Spruce top, this guitar delivers unparalleled volume and sustain. The tactile Silent Satin finish, Tropical Mahogany neck, and West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard offer supreme playability. Equipped with L.R. Baggs HiFi electronics, it’s a supremely playable, rock-solid instrument built for inspired playing! Discover your dynamic sound with this magnificent specimen.
