Our take on the Taylor 417e Grand Pacific Acoustic/Electric Guitar

The Taylor 417e is a round-shoulder dreadnought built from solid Sitka spruce and Indian rosewood, with Taylor's Grand Pacific body shape. That shape tames the boomy low end of a traditional dreadnought and adds warmth and balance, so it works for strumming, flatpicking and singer-songwriter work. It has no cutaway, a 1-3/4-inch nut and medium-gauge strings, and it ships with Taylor's ES2 pickup for plugged-in gigs. Against Taylor's 317e (same shape, sapele back and sides) the 417e is the rosewood step up, with deeper lows and more overtone richness; against a Martin D-28 it is warmer and less scooped in the mids.

Best forSinger-songwriters who strum and flatpickPlayers who want rosewood warmth without dreadnought boomAcoustic gigging with a built-in pickupPlayers who prefer a full, uncut body
Pros
  • Solid Sitka spruce top over solid Indian rosewood back and sides
  • Grand Pacific shape balances warmth with clear, even response
  • Taylor ES2 electronics ready for stage and studio
  • Comfortable 1-3/4-inch nut width for chording and fingerstyle
  • Gloss tobacco sunburst finish and full binding and purfling
Cons
  • No cutaway, so upper-fret access is limited
  • Medium-gauge strings feel stiff for light-touch players
  • Full dreadnought-size body can feel large for smaller players
  • Rosewood-backed Taylors sit high in the line, so it is a serious outlay

What reviewers say

Owners of the 417e praise its warm, balanced voice and describe it as an easy strummer with a strong plugged-in sound through the ES2. Most criticism centers on the lack of a cutaway and the stiff feel of the medium strings out of the box.

What people mention

  • ElectronicsPraisedPlayers like the ES2 pickup for live use, saying it reproduces the acoustic sound well.
  • CutawayCriticisedSome players miss a cutaway for reaching the upper frets.
  • String gaugeMixedThe medium-gauge strings suit strumming but feel stiff to lighter players.
  • Body sizeMixedThe full Grand Pacific body is comfortable for many but large for smaller players.

Questions and answers

How does the 417e differ from the Taylor 317e?
Both use the Grand Pacific shape and solid spruce top. The 417e swaps the 317e's sapele back and sides for Indian rosewood, which adds depth and overtone richness. The 317e is the more direct, mid-focused option.
Does the 417e have a cutaway?
No. It is a full-body Grand Pacific with no cutaway, so upper-fret access is limited compared with Taylor's cutaway models.
What pickup does it use?
It comes with Taylor's ES2 under-saddle pickup system, with onboard controls for volume, bass and treble.
What strings does it ship with?
It ships with D'Addario phosphor bronze medium-gauge strings (.013-.056). You can switch to light gauge if you prefer a softer feel, though that changes the tone slightly.
Is the 417e good for fingerstyle?
Yes. The 1-3/4-inch nut and balanced Grand Pacific response suit fingerstyle, though the medium strings may feel stiff for light-touch players.
Is it all solid wood?
Yes. The top is solid Sitka spruce and the back and sides are solid Indian rosewood, with a gloss finish.
