Premium tone, effortless comfort, and sophisticated design all come together in one beautifully inspiring package. The Taylor Builder’s Edition 524ce delivers an exceptional playing experience that satisfies at every level. Crafted with a solid mahogany top and solid Shamel ash back and sides—responsibly sourced from Southern California—this Grand Auditorium model produces a warm, woody tone with midrange richness and focused note clarity. Its signature Builder’s Edition appointments include a beveled armrest, contoured cutaway, chamfered edges, and a Curve Wing bridge, all designed for ultimate playing comfort. The V-Class bracing architecture enhances volume, sustain, and intonation, making this guitar a perfect partner for dynamic performances or recording sessions. Visually, the Kona Burst back and sides paired with a natural top finish and firestripe pickguard offer a unique aesthetic, highlighted by faux pearl Compass inlays and antique gold Gotoh 510 tuners. Outfitted with Taylor’s ES2 electronics and protected by a deluxe hardshell case, this is a professional-grade acoustic-electric ready for any setting. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
