Embrace the beauty of Urban Ironbark and torrefied Sitka spruce, a combination that produces a lively, muscular sound with lush resonance, rivalling the tonal characteristics of Indian rosewood. Unleash your creativity with the 517e's highly dynamic musical personality, offering a high-fidelity response with clear trebles, warm lows, and a captivating overtone character that remains balanced across the entire frequency spectrum.

Taylor's commitment to innovation shines through in the 517e, as V-Class bracing is skillfully incorporated, enhancing volume, prolonging sustain, and ensuring clearer harmony between notes all along the neck. Whether you're strumming, songwriting, or fingerpicking, the 517e's versatile sound will resonate with you, making it the ideal instrument for musicians of all styles and preferences.

Boasting an exceptional blend of aesthetics and functionality, the 517e comes adorned with elegant faux tortoiseshell binding, complemented by black acrylic and maple purfling, creating an eye-catching visual spectacle. The single-ring green abalone rosette adds a touch of sophisticated elegance, while nickel hardware and a faux tortoiseshell pickguard complete the instrument's refined appearance. The subtle shaded edgeburst, paired with a glossy finish, accentuates Urban Ironbark's natural reddish hues, adding a touch of vintage charm to this contemporary masterpiece. The Marquise inlay design, crafted with faux pearl Italian acrylic, further elevates the guitar's visual appeal, setting it apart with an aura of grace and distinction.

Crafted for ultimate playability, the 517e features a Neo-Tropical Mahogany neck, delivering a comfortable and smooth playing experience, while the West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard ensures effortless navigation along the 24-7/8" scale length, providing the freedom to explore every musical nuance.

Complete with Taylor's renowned ES2 electronics, the 517e ensures a seamless transition from stage to studio, capturing the guitar's unparalleled tonal qualities in all their glory, making every performance an unforgettable experience for you and your audience.

To safeguard this musical treasure, the 517e comes with a Deluxe Western Floral Hardshell Case, providing top-notch protection while exuding elegance. Additionally, the guitar comes equipped with D’Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Medium strings, specially chosen to enhance the guitar's tonal properties and longevity, ensuring that the 517e remains your musical companion for a lifetime of extraordinary musical moments.

In conclusion, the Taylor 517e from the 500 Series is a pinnacle of acoustic guitar excellence, artfully crafted with sustainable materials, cutting-edge technology, and an unyielding passion for music.
