Taylor Gold Label Grand Pacific | The Best Guitar Series of 2025 Just Got Bigger | A New 517 & 717!
Taylor Guitars released the new Gold Label Series this year, a completely redesigned acoustic-electric guitar with a new neck system, new bracing, and new aesthetic package-- the 814e quickly became a top seller for us, and now they've expanded the line to the 517e and 717e. In the Grand Pacific body shape, you get the option of Mahogany or Rosewood back/sides, either one paired with a Torrefied Spruce top; and this time, they start at $2599! Choose from a whole host of colors, and listen to how full and beautiful they sound.
Their tonal profile is described as warm, earthy, punchy, and soulful, with great dynamic response—perfect for both aggressive strumming and nuanced lighter playing.
The 517e has Mahogany back & Sides. A Dry woody mid-range focus with fewer overtones and strong fundamentals. Available in Natural, Sunburst, or Blacktop finishes. Click HERE to View product page.
The 717e has Indian Rosewood back & sides. A richer low end sound with more overtones, and complex harmonic resonance. Available in Natural, Sunburst or Blacktop finished with cream or firestripe pickguards. Click HERE to view product page.

Whether you're after the 517e’s bold mahogany punch or the 717e’s lush rosewood resonance, these guitars elevate both stage and studio performance.
