Condition: Used, Excellent

This dread is a blast to play and I keep coming back to that thought after spending 20 minutes playing this lovely 510e from Taylor! Short scale on a dread matched with a VERY comfortable V carve neck and you get a guitar with a nice soft attack and playability you'd expect on an OM or OOO rather than a full size guitar. Tone here is balanced with a bit of a brightness on top as you'd expect from Taylor but bass is tight and clear. If you're a strummer I think you'll fall in love with the big beautiful voice this guitar has and get to the point where you forget you're playing it since it is so effortless and powerfull. Rather you want a dread for intimate playing or something to fill a room this Taylor won't let you down! 

Taylor’s 500 Series Dreadnoughts boast several uniquely compelling design features, including a slightly shorter 24-7/8-inch scale length and a V-carve neck with a slotted headstock. The result is an inviting handfeel with less string tension — making string bends fun — and matches up well with chord strummers and vocals. The dynamic response of the Lutz spruce top works especially well with the dry, woody sound of mahogany, producing a balanced voice with crisp highs and soft lows. With Taylor’s Performance bracing optimized for the Dreadnought shape and the model’s other features, the 510e makes a musically versatile instrument that blends well with other instruments, either unplugged or amplified with Taylor’s Expression System 2 electronics.
