It's not often that a name like Taylor comes around to re-do a standard, but for a Southern California tonewood like Urban Ironbark, they've made an exception. Taylor's 500 Series existed previously as a guitar series utilizing what they call a "Heritage" tonewood – mahogany. After years of dedicating the 500 Series to this tonewood, a striking development in wood sourcing brings Taylor to a new creation and a new series of guitars to stand as 500s. The Taylor Urban Ironbark 500 Series comes to fruition as the first series of guitars featuring an urban-sourced tonewood to replace a heritage tonewood. This should be no cause for alarm, however, as this new wood in Taylor's catalog – formally called red ironbark – is as vibrant, lush, and radiant as your favorite Taylor tonewood.

Urban Ironbark is comparable to ebony in its density and Indian rosewood in its sonic depth. Somewhere in between these two woods, Urban Ironbark tonally is loud, sweet, and complex. The Urban Ironbark in this new 500 series is paired with torrefied Sitka spruce tops to complete a new musical formula never heard before. The Urban Ironbark 500 Series starts with its namesake Urban Ironbark back and sides and a torrefied Sitka spruce top. Internally, the series features V-Class bracing to compound upon the fullness of its voice. In hand, the 500 Series matches this distinct body design with a Neo-Tropical mahogany neck and a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard appointed with a new fret inlay design. Faux tortoise binding and an abalone rosette outline the curvature of the 500 Series splendidly. Each Urban Ironbark 500 Series guitar comes equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics for easy plug in and performance.

The Grand Auditorium is Taylor Guitars' most popular shape, and for good reason. This guitar sits in a middle space between all of the great body styles, making it an excellent multi-tool for all playing styles. The 25 1/2" scale length, 20" body length, and 4 5/8" body depth are just right for playing comfort combined with a massive volume cap. The GA body responds well to fingerstyle, heavy strumming, and everything in between. The powerful and rich tone of Urban Ironbark, topped with the responsive and worn in sound of torrefied Sitka work seamlessly with the 514ce body style.

Taylor's dedication to reinvention, musicality, and their Southern Californian roots comes to life in the Urban Ironbark 500 Series. A treasure found at home, red ironbark makes a grand entry into Taylor's family of tonewoods.

Great price great shoe
Size: 12, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
Excellent shoe. Tried the Sebago penny loafer and the sizing was ridiculous. These J and M are sized perfectly. I’ve had them before and they wear like iron. Very comfortable right out of the box.

Quality shoe but with a slight squeak.
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
Nice shoes with the classic Penny Loafer design. Fit was better than another brand I tried. Only reason not 5 starts is disappointment due to a slight squeak at times when walking.

Exact item ordered, quick delivery
Size: 9.5, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
I ordered these black Cole Haan penny loafers for casual wear with jeans, khakies, and even business casual with slacks and a jacket. They've always worked perfectly for these uses. The Cole Haan version is the most versatile and still meets my sophisticated look criteria. I wear a 9 1/2 M with almost all other shoes. I have found Cole Haan to run slightly wider and slightly shorter. This fit will work with thin and no socks and a little loose in width. . I'd likely order a 10 N next time. I tend to forget this but it runs consistent with me for Cole Haan. 5 stars for the shoe and service. My bad on the slightly off fit.

Poor quality control - maybe outlet store leftovers
Size: 11.5, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
The two shoes were not the same size. They were both labeled 11 1/2 but one shoe was larger than the other and the fit was poor. I returned the first pair and ordered a replacement. This time the shoes were close to the same size but too loose and the left one has sewing issues. I've bought Johnston & Murphy for years because of the quality. These were to replace an existing pair of burgundy penny loafers that have finally worn out (even after several heal/sole replacements). That is the expected quality. I suspect Nashville Shoe Warehouse may be handling shoes that didn't measure up for the quality; more like an outlet mall than getting the J&M quality I've come to expect. Update: went to Johnston & Murphy site to buy "direct" from the manufacturer. There were several recent reviews where the shoes were long and didn't fit properly. Genesco - please step up the manufacture / crafting of these classic shoes to the level of quality they used to have.
