More about Taylor 500 Series
The Taylor 500 Series acoustic guitars are some of the most tonally interesting in the Taylor line. All made with Tropical Mahogany back and sides, the 500 Series has an even and strong midrange that pairs well with the multiple top choices. When paired with the Western Red Cedar, the Taylor 500 Series stands out as a must-try for fingerstyle playing with its warm, dynamic and limiting characteristics. Switch over to the All Tropical Mahogany models and you get an earthy, cutting tone that is perfect for Americana and Roots music. For either choice, you can be sure that the Taylor 500 Series will have the Taylor Guitars V-Class bracing system, faux tortoise shell binding, and ornate inlay on the West African Ebony fretboard. For thoughtful wood pairings and Taylor Guitars ever present attention to detail, look no further.
Updated in 2022. Taylor Guitars launched the 500 Series Urban Ash guitars featuring Spruce tops over Urban Ash backs and sides. Urban Ash represents a key achievement in resource conservation for Taylor Guitars that doesn't sacrifice tone.
