Taylor Guitars adds to their mahogany 500 Series several new all-mahogany models in all five Taylor body shapes. Because of their mahogany tops, these guitars are said to offer players a "meaty midrange character with a strong emphasis on the fundamental frequencies."
Taylor will release a limited run of these First Edition models as: the Dreadnought (520), Grand Concert (522), Grand Concert 12-Fret (522-TF), Grand Auditorium (524), Grand Symphony (526) and Grand Orchestra (528) models.
Each guitar features: ivoroid binding, a black pick guard, and a new "Century" inlay that incorporates a retro-inspired progressive fretboard pattern and headstock detail. Each guitar will be available with optional Expression System® electronics and/or with a cutaway.
