The Taylor Gold Label 817e Grand Pacific embodies the warmth and tradition of rosewood and torrefied spruce, voiced with Taylor’s modern innovations. Its solid Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top yield blooming overtones, deep lows, and crystalline highs, with an aged-in sweetness that feels broken in from day one. The Grand Pacific body shape enhances projection and tonal balance, making this guitar equally at home in solo acoustic settings or within a full band mix.

Visually, the 817e is striking, with intricate appointments that distinguish it within the Gold Label Collection. Mother-of-pearl Continental inlays grace the fretboard and peghead, paired with a dual-layer engraved pickguard for a unique character. Grained ivoroid and Honduran rosewood purfling, a paua rosette, and gloss/satin finishes elevate its elegance. Equipped with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics, this guitar delivers a rich, natural amplified tone perfect for stage use. Complete with a Taylor Deluxe hardshell case, the 817e is built for musicians seeking timeless looks, bold sound, and professional reliability — and it’s available right now at Haggerty’s Music.
