The Taylor Gold Label 517e SB Grand Pacific acoustic-electric guitar is a stunning marriage of vintage-inspired tone and modern playability, now available at Haggerty’s Music. Its Grand Pacific body with a gloss sunburst finish and cream pickguard not only turns heads but also delivers a rich, warm voice with impressive low-end presence and clarity thanks to the torrefied spruce top and mahogany back and sides. Fanned V-Class bracing and a Honduran rosewood “Curve Wing” bridge work together to produce resonance and sustain that feel at home strumming chords around the campfire or performing onstage, while the West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard and comfortable satin neck make every note feel effortless under the fingers. Whether you’re drawn to its traditional aesthetic or its dynamic acoustic response, this guitar strikes a balance of heritage and innovation.

For players who plug in, the onboard LR Baggs Element VTC system gives you articulate amplified tone that stays true to the guitar’s organic character, making it a reliable choice for live gigs and studio sessions alike. The package includes a deluxe Taylor hardshell case with a “British Cocoa” vinyl exterior, so you’re ready to travel with confidence from the first day. From its elegant cream binding and single-ring rosette to its precision Taylor nickel tuners, every detail enhances both function and style. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this Gold Label 517e SB is a guitar that inspires creativity from the moment you pick it up.
