The Grand Pacific 317 features a round-shoulder dreadnought body voiced with Taylor's V-Class bracing. Notes blend smoothly together to produce a warm and seasoned acoustic voice with clear low-end power. Built with solid Sapele back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top, the guitar's tonal response sits comfortably between the dry, focused character of mahogany and the harmonically complex sound of rosewood. The body's wider waist helps produce a strong bass response, but without the woofiness that can sometimes plague bigger-body guitars. That low-end clarity blends evenly with the guitar's mids and highs, yielding a rich, dynamic tone with notes that overlap into a seamless whole.
