Taylor Builder’s Edition 524ce Kona Burst Mahogany/Shamel Ash

The Builders Edition 524ce marries premium tonewoods with Taylors most refined ergonomic appointments for a truly next-level acoustic-electric experience.

Its solid Neo-Tropical mahogany top brings warm, focused midrange with natural compression, while responsibly sourced solid Shamel ash back and sides add clarity and balance with a rich, woody low end. A gloss Kona Burst finish and elegant Italian acrylic rosette give this Grand Auditorium a stunning visual presence, and player-centric touches like a beveled armrest, chamfered edges, and contoured cutaway make it supremely comfortable to play whether youre seated or standing. ES2 electronics and smooth-turning Gotoh 510 tuners round out an instrument that sounds as good amplified as it feels in the hands.
