Every guitar has a story - and these Red Ironbark 500 Series guitars have a great one! The back, sides, and top are all North American sourced, but the real story lies in the back and sides. What is ironbark? First and most important - the tone which we will get into below. The wood is sourced from the western United States, and these trees may have lined a parkway, or surrounded a courthouse! Normally these trees when they hit their end of life cycle might have been turned into mulch...that is until we found out what the conic properties are! You'll be sold on your first strum!! You may not have heard of Ironbark before, but after a few minutes, you will be instantly impressed! Per Bob Taylor himself: "We're going to use wood more wisely, from non-traditional sources that are more environmentally sound. And we're going to put trees back in the ground."

514ce Red Urban Ironbark: These 500 series are Taylor's first Grand Auditorium guitar featuring back and sides of Urban Ironbark, the 514ce delivers a sweet, muscular sound that combines rosewood's high-fidelity voice with mahogany's warm and punchy midrange and spectrum-wide sonic balance. Paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top for a played-in, mature sound and V-Class bracing for improved volume and sustain, the 514ce yields power ideal for heavy strummers along with touch sensitivity that gives it a wide dynamic range that's great for fingerstyle players. With new Aerial inlays in Italian acrylic, a single-ring abalone rosette, a subtle stain that highlights Urban Ironbark's rich red hues, a lightly shaded edgeburst and gloss-finish body, the 514ce blends traditional and contemporary visual styles. It ships with ES2 electronics and a deluxe hardshell case. Pictures Are of Actual Guitar you will receive!

- In business since 1976: Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today.

That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes.

We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.
