Taylor Builder's Edition 524ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Kona Burst 2025

Builder's Edition 524ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Kona Burst 2025 Item Description

The comfortable feel and player-friendly features of a Taylor Builder's Edition guitar on a 500 series Grand Auditorium? Yes, please! This is a very lightly used and still super clean Builder's Edition 524ce in Kona Burst built of a solid mahogany top paired with Shamel ash for the back and sides. Shamel ash is responsibly sourced from trees in need of removal from municipal areas in Southern California. Its solid mahogany top lends warmth, midrange emphasis and natural compression, while solid Shamel ash back and sides"add a warm, woody voice with a focus on fundamental notes and balanced overtones.

Thoughtful design touches such as a beveled armrest, chamfered edges, a contoured cutaway and a sleek Curve Wing bridge make it incredibly comfortable to hold and play. The back, sides, and neck showcase an artfully applied Kona burst and the body features a rich gloss finish. Premium details include Compass inlay scheme, Gotoh 510 antique chrome tuners, a firestripe pickguard, and black/ivoroid purfling. Equipped with ES2 electronics for rich, natural plugged-in tone - each Builder's Edition 514ce includes a deluxe hardshell case.

Includes: Hardshell Case
