Description
The Taylor 524ce Builder's Edition Grand Auditorium is built for players who want comfort, rich tone, and top-tier craftsmanship all in one. Whether you're a gigging musician or a serious home player, this guitar covers a lot of ground. Taylor's Builder's Edition line is known for its player-first approach, and this one stands out with its elegant Kona Burst finish and smooth, contoured body features that just feel great the second you pick it up.
It's crafted with a solid mahogany top for a warm, focused sound, paired with responsibly sourced Shamel ash back and sides that add a nice woody texture to the tone. The V-Class bracing helps it project with more volume and sustain while keeping the tuning spot-on across the neck. Gotoh 510 antique chrome tuners and Taylor's ES2 electronics make sure you're always sounding your best, whether you're plugged in or playing unplugged.
With a beveled armrest, chamfered edges, and a contoured cutaway, the 524ce is incredibly comfortable to hold for long sessions. The neck is smooth and fast, making it easy to get around the fretboard without any strain. We've had a lot of guitars come through here, but the feel and balance of this one really stand out; it's the kind of guitar you'll want to pick up and play every day.
