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.
