Taylor 217e Plus Special Edition Honeyburst Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Sitka Spruce/Big Leaf Maple

Taking a dip for something sweet, we've got this Taylor 217e Plus Special Edition in a delectable Honeyburst! This limited-run model, released in celebration of the 2026 NAMM Show, comes together with some knockout tonewoods and unique aesthetics for a totally impressive Grand Concert model. Sweet as honey? Just about.

This Special Run 217e lines up a fantastic set of specifications to get the whole experience off the ground. A Taylor Grand Concert body comes together with a combination of quality solid Sitka spruce and layered Big Leaf maple. The brightness of both woods makes for a sweet, chiming tone made warmer by the top's torrefied quality. Torrefaction, a process in which tonewoods are heat-treated to bake out imperfections and impart some  age for a richer sound, makes an appearance with this 217e. Taylor C-Class bracing lands with this torrefied top to add up to a guitar with a more modern level of balance and projection.

These quality tonewoods are matched by a Hard Rock maple neck and a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard. Lined with comfortable frets and punctuated with Italian acrylic inlays, this board presents a smooth feel on the fingers to match the sleek feel across the back of the neck on the palm. This seamless playing experience matches with a number of specs for playability and aesthetics. Taylor Gold tuning machines meet at the headstock for smooth stringing experiences while an Italian acrylic rosette and white body binding add up to a charming visual sum. This Special Edition 217e comes equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics to translate its sounds to the stage while an included Taylor AeroCase Brown soft case makes such trips a breeze.

A definitely decadent guitar, this Special Edition Honeyburst Taylor 217e hits the spot.
