Described by many as the ultimate fingerpicking guitars, the 500 series of Taylor guitars are constructed from Tropical Mahogany, for a rich, dark voice with exceptional clarity. Featuring a Cutaway design and Taylor`s new Expression System ES2 pickup, youll always sound your best, whether youre live on-stage or in the living room.
Dreadnought punch and a rich mid-range sound coupled with the Taylor Expression System ES2 give the Taylor 510ce Mahogany Cutaway a full, well-defined presence. The subtlety of your playing will be captured perfectly with the built-in ES2 pickup.
Featuring a Solid Engelmann Spruce top and Solid Tropical Mahogany back and sides, the 510ce will sing whether its amplified or not. Particularly well-received by the fingerpickers for its warm tones, it will also respond well to general strumming-style, delivering shimmering tone.
Extras include a deluxe hardshell case, a left handed variant for the same price (call for details) and a 12 YEAR WARRANTY with Taylor!
The Taylor 510ce `Dreadnought` shape
The Taylor 510ce dreadnought infuses an iconic guitar shape with signature Taylor design refinements to give players an inspiring neo-traditional guitar.The body style boasts a rich heritage in the acoustic guitar world, and over the course of many decades has established a familiar look and sound among players and listeners.
The dreadnoughts big body features a wide waist, which helps produce a loud robust voice, espacially on the low end, along with snappy, punchy quality in the mid-range that appeals to the traditional strummers and flat pickers.
Taylors refinements to the dreadnought have brought modern enhancements to the look tone and playing experience, while still retaining the essence of what classic dreadnought players crave. Over the years the body curves were subtly softened from it`s boxy outline into a smoother contour that aligns well with the design aesthetic of other Taylor shapes
Tonally, Bob Taylor revoiced the guitar to optimize the volume and bass response while also boosting the mid-range, preserving the tonal balance from bottom to top. He also enhanced the clariy and overall articulation, giving flatpickers more tonal definition on fast runs. Together with Taylor`s sleek necks and renowned playablity, a potent dreadnought sound is more accessable than ever.
