In the 500 Series, elegance meets clean, dynamic response. Rosewood borders the solid Tropical American mahogany body, Hawaiian koa is hand-inlaid into the rosette. Engelmann or Sitka spruce tops produce a warm, mature tone. We substitute a Western Red cedar top on the 514ce to make it an even more responsive fingerstyle powerhouse.
A Western Red cedar top brings extra warmth and responsiveness to our popular mahogany Grand Auditorium cutaway, a perennial favorite among fingerstylists and singer-songwriters alike.
