Reviews

Taylor 517e Gold Label Grand Pacific Sunburst with striped pickguard and Baggs VTC pick-up
I received the Taylor 517e from Sweetwater today. Work impedes guitar playing like most, but I had an hour or so to play it plugged and unplugged. I have 3 other Taylor's and this is outside the Taylor box, but I like my other Taylor's as well! The guitar is a cannon and whispers as well. Jeff Jent and Sweetwater Prep&Shipping took the time to get it to me double boxed and packed well. Solid purchase!
