✅ Why You’ll Love This Guitar

The Taylor 117E is already one of Taylor’s most accessible full-size acoustic-electric guitars. This Summer Special Edition takes that great platform and adds a finish with serious vintage mojo.

The Dark Tobacco Sunburst Teardrop looks fantastic against Taylor’s classic body shape, giving the guitar a distinctive, slightly old-school character without sacrificing Taylor’s modern playability.

And at $899, this is an exceptional value.

✅ Our Expert Opinion

If you’re looking for a great-playing Taylor without spending a fortune, this is one we’d definitely recommend taking a look at.

You get the familiar Taylor feel, comfortable playability, reliable acoustic-electric performance, and a look that makes this particular guitar stand out from the crowd.

It’s simple: this is a lot of Taylor for the money.

✅ Tone Profile

The 117E delivers the balanced, clear and articulate tone Taylor is known for, with plenty of versatility for strumming, flatpicking, singer-songwriter work and everyday playing.

The result is a guitar that’s equally comfortable on the couch, in the studio, or on stage.
