Taylor is exploring their new Urban Ironbark tonewood by updating their 514ce and 512ce models of the 500 Series. The Urban Ironbark joins Taylor’s previous Urban Ash tonewood, both of which were created in collaboration with WestCoast Arborists, Inc. (WCA).
“As a back and side wood, Urban Ironbark yields a bold, rich and sweet voice that’s sure to impress players of all styles, giving these guitars piano-like clarity with a smooth character that amplifies each player’s unique touch,” said Taylor of the new tonewood. “We’ve paired the Urban Ironbark with torrefied spruce tops for an extra seasoned tone, adding up to a supremely balanced sound that performs exceptionally well on stage or in the studio.”
Both the 514ce and 512ce guitars are available here for $3,299.
