Taylor 500 Series | Builder's Edition 517e WHB
Torrefied Solid Sitka Spruce Top, Solid Tropical Mahogany Back & Sides
Featuring the Grand Pacific dreadnought body shape, exclusive comfort features and top-tier tonewoods, the Builder's Edition 517e WHB introduces Taylor players to a new kind of sound within Taylor's lineup. Solid mahogany back and sides generate a warm, punchy midrange response with projection and aged-in warmth from the torrefied Sitka spruce top, resulting in a blended, seasoned tone with clear low-end power. Taylor's V-Class bracing enhances the response with more volume and longer sustain while also providing greater harmony between notes. This Builder's Edition model also boasts chamfered edges and a compound-carve neck profile for a more seamless feel, and the Silent Satin finish reduces incidental playing noise for recording applications.
- Builder's Edition model with premium comfort features
- Solid mahogany back/sides for midrange punch, focus
- Torrefied spruce top offers warmth and projection
- V-Class bracing generates more volume and sustain
- Includes built-in ES2 pickup and hardshell case
