Blending cutting-edge innovation with natural beauty and comfort-driven design, the Builder’s Edition 524ce represents a pinnacle in Taylor craftsmanship. This next-generation model brings together a host of premium features — from Taylor’s long-tenon Action Control Neck to the newly refined scalloped V-Class bracing — to elevate the playing experience for performers and recording artists alike. The pairing of a solid mahogany top with responsibly sourced Shamel ash back and sides delivers a voice that’s both warm and articulate, ideal for players seeking a responsive guitar with balanced tone and a smooth dynamic range.
The Grand Auditorium shape makes this 524ce a versatile instrument, equally at home with fingerstyle arrangements, percussive rhythm playing, or dynamic strumming. Taylor’s Action Control Neck allows players to quickly dial in string height for optimal comfort, while the contoured cutaway, beveled armrest, and chamfered edges ensure that every playing session feels effortless. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the Claria electronics system provides a transparent and natural-sounding amplified voice, with soundhole-mounted Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour controls offering flexible tone shaping on the fly.
Visually, the 524ce makes a statement with its Kona Burst back and sides, firestripe pickguard, and detailed Compass inlays in Italian acrylic. Premium appointments like smoked nickel Gotoh 510 tuners and a rosewood radius armrest add both elegance and functionality. Designed to serve serious musicians and demanding performers, the Builder’s Edition 524ce is a sophisticated acoustic-electric guitar that delivers warmth, precision, and visual appeal in equal measure. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this next gen beauty comes with a hardshell case for convenient transport and premium protection.
