I'd be interested to hear your take on the sound of each. My gut would tell me that they would sound similar and that it would just be an aesthetic issue, but you never know!

Well I played the one without bear claw and loved it. When I put it back I looked at the other but didn't play it. If they still have both when I am able to buy I will A&B them. I am not going to let looks dictate which one I get. I got to sell one before I can buy one so hopefully the one I have up for sale sells soon.

I imagine that they will sound pretty darn close, but you never know. Honestly, I played a 717 in a shop that blew me away this weekend, so I'm hoping my 717 that's inbound is just as good or better. Problem is that the one in the shop had the ES2 and I don't want to buy guitars with built in electronics anymore, especially the ES system. If I'd bought the one in the shop, my luck is that Taylor would announce the ES3 system shortly after and ruin the resale value on my guitar. This doesn't matter to most, but I know first hand how difficult it is to sell a Taylor that isn't the current "generation." |

My gut would tell me that they'll be real and they'll be spectacular....

Man since I tried those GP's I haven't had much rest... Now I went ahead an ordered a 517 in Wild Honey Burst last tuesday - as they where sold out in our store. It should be here today and I just can't wait to get to playing it! I asked for it yesterday and my boss tracked the shipment down and said that it should come today...
Unfortunately my anticipation has gotten me to play more and more acoustic guitar during the last week to the point where my fingertips are quite sore already before receiving it... Normally I play mainly electric. Still, I hope to play that thing today as the next few days won't present me with much time to play again before monday. Oh, the joy!! |

Any Grand Pacific Owners Around Here???
Allan- You'll love that 517 for sure. I have played them, and strange as it may seem, i think they sound better than the 717! And the WHB looks awesome i think. Keep us posted!
