This guitar is in excellent condition, showing limited playing time.
Taylor's 500 Series
The mahogany class:
All 500s have a body made entirely of mahogany and a gloss body finish. The sound of the dark and strongly grained wood is amplified by an Expression System 2.
Grand Symphony Body:
In addition to its robust construction, the Grand Symphony body shape offers a lot of volume. This allows the sound to develop appropriately and appears strong in the mids and bass. The highs respond extremely quickly, making the body ideal for flatpicking and strumming.
Expression System 2:
The Expression System 2 is an upgrade to the previously used version of the in-house pickup system. Unlike previously, the transducer of the ES2 is not located under, but behind the bridge insert. This was done based on the idea that the insert is limited in its vertical vibration due to the high tension of the strings, but can swing back and forth. The piezo pickup takes advantage of this movement and provides a warm, full and less harshly shrill tone.
Original hard-shell case included.

We carefully inspect every instrument when we buy it and bring it up to our standards before we offer it for sale. We also do a full set up before we ship.
*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
