This is a very nice guitar. I was just looking for that simple guitar & I found it. I love the markings on the fretboard & even the top of the body. I just had to tune it & after inspecting it all & playing a first sound test, I can already tell I have no regrets in picking this one to buy. The tones are punchy & clear & full & the action seems pretty darn perfect too. No fret buzz & all the melody notes from 1rst fret all the way to the last are hitting perfect. The tuners are nice & smooth too. I like that this is a nice light guitar too, maybe weighting about 3.5 lbs or so. I still have to test out the electronics on it & plug her into an amp but I’ll do that soon & will update anything on that later. Yes, I recommend this guitar, especially if you’re just looking for that simple guitar. I wish I could share a photo or two of it but won’t let me.

Let me start off by saying that this is one of those Taylor guitars where there are only about 3 video reviews on YouTube, and most of them don't have great audio quality. I always like to hear guitars a lot before purchasing them online - and I took a chance on this one. Let me tell you, this thing is amazing. If you're torn between this and something like a 114ce, although priced the same, this blows the 114ce out of the water. It has a balanced and full tone, and it just feels more weighted. I've owned both the 114ce and 214ce, and there is really no comparison here, the 117e is the clear winner. I've gone through many acoustic guitars (Taylors, Martins, Epiphones) trying to find the right one for my recording setup - and I believe the search is finally over!Definitely recommend this guitar!
