Overview
217e-BLK Plus
The 217e-BLK Plus brings the neo-vintage sound of our Grand Pacific body shape to the 200 Series for the first time. Crafted with back and sides of layered maple and a solid torrefied spruce top, this acoustic-electric round-shoulder dreadnought serves up bold projection with a warm, seasoned character, offering plenty of volume, sustain and low-end power thanks to the C-Class bracing inside. Our roasting process for the spruce top adds a dash of extra depth and sweetness to the overall response, similar to what players would expect from an older, more played-in guitar. With its striking all-block finish, easy-playing neck and built-in ES2 electronics, the 217e-BLK Plus offers broad musical utility in a package that's sure to stand out wherever you take it.
Features
Grand Pacific
A round-shoulder body with a warm, blended voice, strong low-end power, and versatile tone suited for many playing styles.
Big Leaf Maple
Though mostly known as a body wood, maple offers a dry, midrange-centric tone profile when used as a soundboard.
Torrefied Spruce
Treated with our special roasting process, torrefied spruce tops deliver all the clarity, balance and projection you’d expect from a traditional spruce top with an extra dash of warmth and played-in depth.
Expression System® 2
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

Are there any 12 string versions available?

What is the difference between C and V class bracing?
The V-Class bracing pattern features two long braces that form a "V" shape from the neck block to the tail of the guitar. C Class is a modified version of V Class bracing with one long brace running under the treble side from the neck block to the tail end. "C" for cantilever allows more flexibility on the bass side resulting in a stronger bass response.
