Taylor Gold Label 817e Sunburst Grand Pacific

A deeper version of our Grand Pacific body shape adds a new dimension of heritage-inspired tone to our growing Gold Label Collection with the Gold Label 817e. This modified round-shoulder dreadnought boasts the top-tier wood pairing of Honduran rosewood back and sides with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, yielding a richly textured voice with clear trebles, rumbling lows and remarkable warmth across the frequency spectrum. Players can expect a lush, complex overtone response along with enhanced volume, sustain and resonance thanks to the fanned V-Class interior bracing and long-tenon Action Control Neck, which also offers precise, fast string height adjustments so you can dial in the perfect feel. The Gold Label 817e sports sleek visuals that channel its throwback inspiration, including a four-piece Simons wedge back configuration, grained ivoroid body binding with ivoroid and Honduran rosewood edge trim, a single-ring rosette in paua and Honduran rosewood, Continental fretboard inlays in mother-of-pearl, Gotoh 510 tuning machines in antique chrome with ebony buttons, an engraved faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, and a full-body gloss finish. It ships with LR Baggs Element VTC electronics and a deluxe British Cocoa hardshell case.

Grand Pacific

This round-shoulder dreadnought delivers a new flavor of warm, rich Taylor tone.

Honduran Rosewood

Extremely dense compared to other rosewood species, Honduran rosewood sings with a uniquely smooth voice that makes it worthy of our finest guitars.

Action Control Neck

Building on Taylor’s legacy of easy-playing necks, the new Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon joint for added warmth and depth with a patented system for effortless string height adjustment.

Torrefied Spruce

Treated with our special roasting process, torrefied spruce tops deliver all the clarity, balance and projection you’d expect from a traditional spruce top with an extra dash of warmth and played-in depth.

LR Baggs - Element VTC

This undersaddle pickup channels tone from the movement of a guitar’s top, delivering a remarkably warm, detailed sound in Gold Label and Legacy Collection guitars.
