The Taylor Custom Shop C17e Koi Fish is the kind of guitar that makes an ordinary instrument feel like a work of art. Created for Taylor's Catch Event, this Grand Pacific C17e is finished in the striking Living Jewel Blue, with the flowing imagery of Japanese koi woven throughout the instrument. From across the room it's captivating, but the real magic comes when you pick it up and discover how much character is packed into the sound.

Hand-selected bearclaw Sitka spruce and deeply figured Big Leaf maple give the C17e a voice that is warm, powerful, and full of texture. The Grand Pacific body delivers plenty of depth and authority, while V-Class bracing adds clarity, sustain, and an effortless sense of balance across the strings. Mother-of-pearl and abalone koi inlays move across the rosette, fingerboard, and soundboard, turning the guitar into something that feels every bit as special in your hands as it looks on display.

With its rare Living Jewel Blue finish and intricate koi-inspired appointments, this Taylor Custom Shop C17e feels less like a production instrument and more like a piece of functional art. The combination of exceptional tonewoods, expressive Grand Pacific voice, and meticulous Custom Shop craftsmanship makes it equally compelling for a dedicated player or serious collector. This is a truly special Taylor built to be played, admired, and passed down. Available now at Haggerty's Music.
