    Taylor Guitars introduces the Taylor 517e Urban Ironbark Grand Pacific AE Guitar. With the amazing craftsmanship and craftiness of master luthier and guitar designer Andy Powers, this reimagined 500 series grand auditorium will take your breath away. This majestic guitar packs a punch with its solid Urban Ironbark back and sides, creating warm tones with generous overtones and exceptional projection. It also comes with a Venetian-style cutaway and an onboard ES2 pickup system with onboard controls, allowing for even more creative expression. This magnificent acoustic electric guitar is perfect for the musician who craves unique soundscape capabilities and warm, rich tone.

    In the spirit of forging new pathways in tonal possibilities, Taylor is proud to introduce urban ironbark, or red ironbark, as the new wood for the back and sides for the 517e. Sourced through our urban wood initiative, urban iron bark is destined to become a favorite among guitar players. Iron bark is dense, like ebony, and captures the sonic depth of rosewood accelerated to new heights. When paired with the torrefied Sitka Spruce top, you get a sound that is loud yet sweet with piano like fidelity and complexity.

    Strummers and songwriters will surely appreciate the seasoned, blended sound of the Grand Pacific body shape. The appointments of the new 500 series capture the traditional aesthetic while adding touches to highlight the new wood pairing. The back and sides get a light stain and a shaded edgeburst to highlight the beauty of the ironbark and are highlighted in a gloss finish for the body and satin finish for the neck.

     The 517e features Marquise inlays on the fretboard and bridge, faux tortoise binding on the body, a single ring ab rosette with maple and black purfling, and Taylor nickel tuners. The guitar features Taylor’s revolutionary V-Class bracing system, which helps increase volume and sustain while improving the natural intonation of the notes and comes equipped with Taylor’s award winning ES2 active electronics.

    The 517e ships in a western floral deluxe hard shell case made by Taylor for optimal fit and protection.
