Taylor Guitars introduce five all-mahogany models into the 500 series and three mahogany top models into the 300 series.
Taylor is one of the top brands on the acoustic side of the guitar market. For almost four full decades, Taylor has offered exclusive acoustics and acoustic-electrics.

Five all-mahogany 500 models are: 520, 522, 524, 526 and 528. On the other side, 300 series novelties only feature mahogany tops, while retaining their sapele backs and sides. Their names are: 320, 322 and 324.
