Taylor 417e  

Taylor

Taylor is an American company that was founded in 1974 when two boys bought an old hippie guitar shop. The boys were very passionate about guitars and put a lot of energy into the shop. Eventually, the shop evolved into an international company. All Taylor guitars today are made in either El Cajon in California or Tecate in Mexico. Taylor is very proud of this, because guitars that are produced close to headquarters go through a more thorough quality control process and employee satisfaction is better regulated. Taylor prioritises tone and comfort. All guitars are perfected and with modern luthier techniques the guitars can be made with more precision and consistency.

The 400 Series

The 400 series contains utilitarian guitars for different purposes. The series includes several different models with solid Indian rosewood back and sides and solid spruce tops. This is an amazing combination of tonewoods as it produces warm low-end and clear trebles. The mid-tones are more neutral which makes the guitar very suitable to sing along with. The guitars have V-Class bracing, which means that the volume is louder and that it has a longer sustain.

The 417e

The 417e is a great guitar. The body has a solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides. The guitar has a mahogany neck and an ebony fretboard. The guitar has a Grand Pacific body, which is a shape invented by Taylor. It’s a Dreadnought but with rounded shoulders and a wider waist. These changes in shape result in a rounder and deeper sound. The guitar has ES2 electronics so the amplified sound will sound authentic.
