Introducing the Taylor Builder’s Edition 517e, a standout among the inaugural Taylor Grand Pacific guitars. This model significantly broadens Taylor's sonic range, offering an acoustic tone that may pleasantly surprise those familiar with the traditional Taylor sound. Positioned as an exciting addition to the dreadnought category, the round-shoulder Grand Pacific delivers a balanced blend of low-end power and clarity. The neo-tropical mahogany back and sides look incredible, aesthetically offering a peek into the wood grain that delivers a dry, woody character, pairing beautifully with the torrified Sitka spruce top's dynamic response. 

Bearing the Builder’s Edition insignia, the 517 boasts premium features aimed at enhancing player comfort. This includes chamfered body edges and a compound-carve neck profile that adjusts to hand's changing position along the neck. Subtle fretboard contours, a ridgeless heel, and an optimized bridge shape contribute to a satisfying feel and enhanced comfort for players picking hand. The V-Class bracing under the hood allows for projection, sustain and intonation, eliminating concerns about off-key notes on the fretboard.

Moreover, this model comes with a deluxe hardshell guitar case featuring a luxurious exterior adorned with a Western floral pattern reminiscent of finely tooled leather.

Quick and Fantastic Service!
I include the additional protection for all of my high dollar purchases. This was the first time I have ever had to use it. I had an extension to provide additional screens to my laptop. Unfortunately, it developed an issue. Submitting a claim was easy and straightforward. UPS came the next day to pick it up and I was notified in just a couple of days that it was received. Only a couple of days after that, I received an email stating that my laptop screens were not repairable and I was given an Amazon card for the entire purchase price. I could not have been more pleased, as the purchase price was $599 and was a huge splurge for me in the first place. I was able to quickly replace the screens and back in business in no time. I would recommend this protection plan for any high dollar purchase.

They paid on the policy
I bought a four year replacement policy on my modem and two years into its lifespan it stopped working. I trouble shot with the company but we eventually determined it was dead. I contacted Asurion, they sent me a pre-paid address label, I mailed the defective modem, they found that it was dead and deposited a credit in the amount of the original purchase in my Amazon account, all within a few days. I am quite happy with the service. Just so you know, the reimbursement is through a gift card at Amazon which you can draw down against your purchases; it is not CASH.

Nearly 3 years later, Asurion had my back :)
In Nov of 2017 I bought a $900 35" Ultra wide PC monitor for Gaming and Work. It was made by a company called AOC/Envision and I bought it through amazon. The monitor had a 3 year warranty that I was still within but they said no to a defect that they said was only covered for 1 year, even though it wasn't the type of defect that was only covered for 1 year. LUCKILY, back in 2017 I had purchased an Asurion insurance policy with this monitor. I told an Asurion agent in a instant messaging chat window on the Asurion website my problem and she sent me postage in an email. I shipped my product and in 5 days from shipping it I received a text telling me that it was beyond repair and I would be getting a FULL REFUND! Not 2hr later, in an email, there it was, an amazon gift card code for $900 I will not be making any big purchases without an Asurion plan going forward. Happy customer Don't buy anything AOC

Received a refund
I purchased the 4-year protection plan offered at the time I purchased a refurbished printer. Seven months later the printer failed, so I went searching through my Amazon orders for my protection plan and located it. Once I created an account on Asurion's website it showed the the plan but it was not attached to a specific purchase, so I had to locate and upload the invoice for my printer. Once that was done, the policy still wasn't linked for some unknown reason. I proceeded to start the claim anyway stating that my printer had failed and I received an immediate reply stating that a box would be shipped to me for me to return the printer for inspection/repair. After a week I hadn't seen any additional info so I called their support phone #. The service was very good and they had to create a new case to replace the one I started online, and they assured me that a shipping box would be sent. About a week later I did receive the box with a prepaid shipping label to return the item by UPS. I packaged the printer up and sent it off. I received updates stating that they received it, were looking at it and attempting repairs. Everything appeared to be going along well, then out of the blue they sent me a notification of a full refund in the form of an Amazon gift card. Overall I'm satisfied and I'm glad I purchased the coverage.
