The Taylor Builder's Edition 524ce electro-acoustic guitar combines comfort, sleek aesthetics, and rich sound. This new 500 Series model features solid wood construction with Urban Ash back and sides, a mahogany top, and V-Class bracing for increased projection and precise intonation. Designed for guitarists seeking fluidity, it features a Venetian cutaway and rounded contours, offering optimal ergonomics. Its refined aesthetic, with a glossy Kona burst finish and details like the firestripe pickguard and Compass inlays, adds a touch of charm. Expression System 2 electronics guarantee faithful reproduction of the sound of this Taylor model, which combines unparalleled sonic performance and undeniable playing comfort. All this comes with a deluxe hardshell case.
Presentation
With its carefully beveled contours, Venetian cutaway, and ebony Curve Wing bridge, the Builder's Edition 524ce almost seems to mold to your playing. The grip is fluid, natural, and designed to avoid tension points, even after hours of playing. This comfort is enhanced by the mahogany neck and West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard, which are both pleasant to the touch and ideal for fast progressions.
It's no coincidence that the Taylor Builder's Edition 514ce's aesthetic appeal leaves no one indifferent. Its glossy Kona Burst finish provides captivating visual depth, enhanced by subtle details like the acrylic Compass inlays and the firestripe pickguard. The result is a perfect balance between understated elegance and distinctive allure. It's impossible not to admire it even before playing the first note.
The onboard Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics ensure amplification faithful to the instrument's acoustic richness. Your playing nuances, from delicate arpeggios to powerful strumming, are captured with precision. Discrete controls (volume and 2-band EQ) allow you to easily adjust your sound, whether you're playing on stage or recording in the studio.
