zZounds Gear Experts Say...
From its V-carve neck to its slightly shorter 24-7/8" scale, this 510e makes for a fun playing feel, perfect for string-benders and chord-strummers alike.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Tropical mahogany top/back/sides Present midrange tone with a full, rich sound
Ebony fretboard Dark color, tight grain; premium fretboard wood
Taylor Expression System 2 Captures dynamic range of acoustic sound
Solid black ebony bridge Bright, hard and strong; full sustain

Taylor's 500 Series Dreadnoughts boast several uniquely compelling design features, including a slightly shorter 24-7/8-inch scale length and a V-carve neck with a slotted headstock. The result is an inviting handfeel with less string tension -- making string bends fun -- and matches up well with chord strummers and vocals. The dynamic response of the Lutz spruce top works especially well with the dry, woody sound of mahogany, producing a balanced voice with crisp highs and soft lows.

With Taylor's Performance bracing optimized for the Dreadnought shape and the model's other features, the 510e makes a musically versatile instrument that blends well with other instruments, either unplugged or amplified with Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
The slightly shorter length and the modified V neck make this guitar very comfortable to play. The sound is full with beautiful lows and well balanced mid and high tones. It sounds great unplugged or plugged in. I love the vintage look and understated faux tortoise and ivory inlays.
