Played a Taylor Grand Pacific 317e today
Didn't do much for me. Didn't sound bad but didn't sound all that great either. Note that I'm not a Taylor guy to begin with, but I've played 300 series Taylor guitars before and always felt they offered a lot of bang for the buck in the tone department.
I'd been wanting to try the Grand Pacific since it was announced and finally wandered into the guitar store that carries Taylors today and that was all they had in the GP line. I was hoping for something a little higher on the Taylor scale, but that's all they had in the GP.
I grabbed a few more models and nothing did anything for me (not unusual for Taylors) until I grabbed the little Academy nylon guitar! Wow!! What a great sounding little guitar for the money. small body but with big tone for under $700! I almost bought it!
