The Taylor 520e First Edition acoustic-electric guitar brings you the classic playability and tone that Taylor dreadnoughts are known for.

And the 520e First Edition comes equipped with Expression System electronics, the perfect way to capture every nuance of your playing when you’re plugged in. With a customized First Edition hard case, label, and case plate, the Taylor 520e First Edition would be a sweet addition to any guitar collection.

Taylor 520e First Edition Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:

  • Dreadnought body style is a flatpicker’s favorite
  • Rich tone and looks from an all-mahogany design
  • Renowned Taylor Expression System electronics

Dreadnought body style is a flatpicker’s favorite

The powerful voice and unrivaled projection of the traditional dreadnought body style has made it the choice of strummers and flatpickers throughout history. The naturally deep lows and crisp highs of Taylor’s dreadnought body help balance the 520e First Edition’s tone across the full sonic spectrum. This gives you a sound that lends itself equally well to traditional bluegrass and folk as it does to modern acoustic rock. If you’re looking for a guitar that can handle agressive picking and driving rhythms, you’re going to love the 520e First Edition.

Rich tone and looks from an all-mahogany design

Mahogany is a great tonewood for rich, complex low and midrange tones. It’s harmonically rich, too. The 520e First Edition sports all-mahogany top, back, sides, and neck. Matched with an ebony fretboard and bridge for exceptional note detail and attack, the 520e First Edition sounds as inviting as it looks.

Renowned Taylor Expression System electronics

Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar’s native tone, the Taylor 520e First Edition’s Expression System uses patented Dynamic Sensors to capture both top and string vibration with incredible detail. The Taylor Expression System was created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer Rupert Neve. Unlike standard onboard electronics, the Taylor Expression System is seamlessly integrated into the design of the 520e First Edition from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor or can be set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.

  • Special First Edition dreadnought guitar
  • All-mahogany top, back, sides, and neck for exceptionally rich, deep tone
  • Ebony fretboard enhances clarity and note definition
