Huge concert-quality sound comes out of a full dreadnought solid Engelmann spruce top with innovative narrow bracing. It's enhanced by the solid mahogany back and mahogany sides. Abalone dot inlays, maple binding, and elegant fretboard, headstock, and bridge inlays provide sublime visual appeal. A super-tight dovetail neck joint provides great resonance and stability.

Quite possibly the best guitar at this...

Quite possibly the best guitar at this price point. I played all the rest and concidered spending double. This was the way to go. Only issue is the action is set way too high for my liking. Extra saddle included to tailor to your liking.

Best valued guitar!!

I bought this guitar about 8 months ago and I couldn't be happier. I haven't picked up my Taylor much since, and I even bought a second AW500 for my brother. The sound you get from this guitar is TOP NOTCH. I would recommend this guitar to anyone who is looking for a "step up" from their beginner or a high-end user looking for a nice travel guitar.

Buy this guitar, and trust me, you won't regret it.

I own an AW500 I will put this one up against any accoustic made. I play bluegrass Gospel. I like this guitar as good as or better than my Martin. It sounds as good or better than most that I pick with. At festivals everyone strains to see what brand it is. I keep my capo on the head over the brand so they will have to ask.
