Taylor Custom C17e C0029 Grand Pacific Deep Body Lutz Spruce/AA-Grade Indian Rosewood

This custom Taylor C17e C0029 Gold Label Grand Pacific (Deep Body) is a striking blend of heritage-inspired tone and refined visual artistry, pairing premium Lutz spruce with AA-grade Indian rosewood in a deeper round-shoulder dreadnought design that delivers exceptional warmth, clarity, and dynamic headroom.

The expanded body depth at the soundhole enhances low-end fullness and projection, while Taylor’s fanned V-Class bracing applied with traditional hot hide glue works in tandem with the long-tenon Action Control Neck to produce a rich, articulate voice that remains balanced from the lightest fingerstyle touch to aggressive strumming. Visually, this build stands apart with a warm Honey Sunburst top and an intricate “Dove on a Branch” peghead inlay crafted from paua, mother of pearl, and Hawaiian koa, complemented by figured koa binding, a paua rosette, and green abalone 5-Dot fretboard inlays.

Under the bridge, the LR Baggs HiFi bridge-plate pickup system captures the guitar’s natural resonance and harmonic complexity with remarkable transparency, making this a truly distinctive Gold Label instrument both on stage and in the studio.
