Not only does it produce beautiful harmonics, but it also has been carefully contoured to ensure your playing experience is as comfortable as possible. The body is lightweight, ensuring that you aren't limited to one spot when performing on stage.

Featured on board the 417-R are Taylor's iconic Expression System 2 electronics. With this system, you are able to take your performance to the next level. Plug in and perform to audiences of all sizes. These electronics not only amplify the natural acoustics, but it also infuse your sound with a warm and dynamic tone, which can be further tweaked with the included tone control. This truly is an acoustic sound that should be amplified for all to enjoy.
Taylor never misses when it comes to picking the perfect materials. Once again, they've selected a collection of tonewoods that combine to produce some of the most beautiful harmonics. Featured as the top material is solid Sitka spruce, which delivers a well-rounded and broad dynamic range - the perfect base for a versatile performance. This has been paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, adding warmth and an excellent sustain, whilst also maintaining its clarity.
Featured alongside these materials are neo-tropical mahogany, which has been used to craft the neck, and a West African crelicam ebony fingerboard. Thanks to this warm-sounding neck, your acoustic guitar is infused with an emphasised bass and fullness, along with a responsive and woody sound. Its addition of ebony ensures that, despite its smooth and warm tone, you are also provided with a bright, sharp, and snappy overtone, perfect for fingerpicking. The perfect combination of tonewoods.
Alongside its beautiful harmonics, the 417-R also provides a comfortable playing experience. Each of the materials used to sculpt this model have been topped with a finish. The Sitka spruce and rosewood body have been finished with a gloss, which ensures that your arm glides across the body with each pluck and strum of the strings. Even during the sweatiest of performances, your transitions will be smooth. Its neck has been topped with a sleek satin finish, ensuring your hand effortlessly glides between each fret with ease.
Not only do these incredible tonewoods feature the perfect finish, but they have also been carefully contoured for luxury. Its body has been elegantly curved to ensure that both sit down and standing performances feel natural. It's also lightweight, ensuring you can move around the stage without feeling weighed down. The mahogany neck has also been carefully crafted into a standard cave shape, which sits in the palm of your hand perfectly for a supportive feel. With the 417-R, there's no limitations.
