Taylor 500 Series | Builder's Edition 517e
Torrefied Solid Sitka Spruce Top, Solid Tropical Mahogany Back & Sides
Crafted to the exacting standards of Taylor's master guitar designer, Andy Powers, the Builder's Edition 517e introduces a warm, vintage-hued sound to the Taylor lineup thanks to the Grand Pacific dreadnought body shape and the tone-boosting V-Class bracing inside. Back and sides of solid mahogany generate rich midrange presence and focus, limiting ringing overtones. The torrefied Sitka spruce top serves up projection and clarity with a touch of extra warmth and depth from Taylor's special roasting process, which simulates some of the changes in the wood that occur naturally with age. This Builder's Edition model boasts chamfered edges and a compound-carve neck profile for a seamless feel, along with a Silent Satin finish to reduce incidental noise.
- Premium features for the ultimate playing experience
- Solid mahogany/torrefied spruce generate warmth and focus
- V-Class bracing improves volume and sustain
- Grand Pacific body for old-school acoustic character
- Includes ES2 acoustic pickup and hardshell case
- Responsibly Sourced Materials

Grand Pacific - This round-shoulder dreadnought delivers a new flavour of warm, rich Taylor tone.
Tropical Mahogany - A midrange powerhouse. Mahogany is prized for balance and articulation, making it one of the best all-around tonewoods there is.
Sitka Spruce - The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
Expression System 2 - The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar's dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
V-Class Bracing - Taylor's patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern - a new sonic engine - that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
