Product information

With the solid Urban Ironbark bottom and top and Grand Pacific body shape, the 517e offers a completely unique sound profile within the Taylor line. Musicians will hear a muscular yet smooth response with remarkable balance across the frequency spectrum, offering equal parts sonority and transparency. Inside the guitar, the patented V-Class bracing provides more power and longer sustain, which further highlights the rosewood-like qualities of the iron ride eucalyptus and underlines the warm character of the Grand Pacific body. Subtle features such as an abalone rosette, tortoise binding and Italian acrylic marquise inlays complete the package, which also includes Taylor Expression system 2 electronics and a hard case.

About Taylor 500

Die 500er Serie, in der früher ausschließlich Taylors Mahagoni-Modelle zu finden waren, ist jetzt auch mit Boden und Zargen aus Urban Ironbark ausgestattet, einem völlig neuen Tonholz, das aus Taylors ständig wachsenden Urban Wood Initiative stammt. Dieses Holz wird anders als die meisten hochwertigen Tonhölzer, in Kalifornien im direkten Umfeld von Taylor Guitars gewonnen. Als Boden- und Zargenholz liefert Urban Ironbark eine kräftige, satte und weiche Stimme, die Spieler aller Stilrichtungen beeindrucken wird und diesen Gitarren eine klavierähnliche Transparenz mit einem sanften Charakter verleiht, der die einzigartige Spielweise eines jeden Gitarristen verstärkt. Taylor hat die Urban Ironbark-Korpusse mit Decken aus torreffizierter Fichte gepaart, um einen besonders ausgewogenen Sound zu erzielen, der sich auf der Bühne und im Studio besonders gut macht. Wenn du auf der Suche nach einer Gitarre mit einer völlig originellen, unerwarteten musikalischen Persönlichkeit bist, bist du bei der 500er Serie genau richtig.
