Taylor 327e Grand Pacific Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar Shaded Edge Burst

The Taylor 327e Grand Pacific Dreadnought delivers an all-wood, USA-made acoustic experience. The Grand Pacific is a unique entry to the dreadnought category, possessing clear low-end power, tonal consistency and sweeping versatility. This gives your sound a warm and seasoned flavor, with broad, round overlapping notes that blend into each other for a unified harmony, as opposed to the focused, precise, clear and vibrant sound of Taylor's grand auditorium body shape. An important attribute of the Grand Pacific shape is the elimination of problematic low-end woofiness and muddiness (perceived as a "puff of air") often associated with dreadnought-style guitars. This has been accomplished while retaining the usable, musical, warm power of bass response. Because of this the Grand Pacific is especially microphone-friendly and suits flat-pickers, strummers and fingerstyle players alike.

A guitar's top is the primary filter and distributor of vibrating string energy through the guitar, which means it has a huge impact on its sound. Tropical mahogany is known for a meaty midrange featuring a strong fundamental without adding a lot of ringing overtones. It responds well to players with a strong attack who like dry, earthy, lo-fi sounds and has a natural compression that smooths out strumming and picking technique. Mahogany's clear and direct tonal character makes it a great option for playing and standing out among other instruments. The 327e is also equipped with revolutionary Expression System 2 electronics for exceptional acoustic sound when plugged into an amp. The Grand Pacific ships in a luxurious hard shell case with Western floral pattern, made by Taylor for optimal fit and protection.
