Designed for players who value form and function in equal measure, the Builder’s Edition 524ce blends premium tonewoods, advanced bracing, and player-focused comfort features into a guitar that feels as good as it sounds. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this Grand Auditorium model sports a solid neo-tropical mahogany top for warmth, midrange focus, and natural compression, paired with responsibly sourced solid Shamel ash back and sides for a warm, woody character with balanced overtones. Taylor’s V-Class bracing enhances sustain, projection, and harmonic agreement across the fretboard. Comfort-focused touches include a beveled armrest, chamfered body edges, a contoured cutaway, and a Curve Wing bridge for an effortless playing experience. Finished in a striking Kona Burst with gloss body and satin neck, it features a firestripe pickguard, faux pearl Compass inlays, and an Italian acrylic rosette. Outfitted with Gotoh 510 antique chrome tuners and ES2 electronics, this Builder’s Edition ships in a deluxe hardshell case for premium protection.
