Next Generation Builder's Edition 324ce

With a suite of updates to complement its array of comfort-enhancing features, the Builder's Edition 324ce offers a newly refined take on a versatile Grand Auditorium guitar. This model boasts back and sides of solid sapele paired with a mahogany top, yielding a hefty midrange punch with a focused, balanced character and controlled overtones. Inside, a scalloped take on our V-Class bracing architecture dials up improved volume, sustain and harmony between notes across the fretboard. Other upgrades include a long-tenon Action Control Neck that enhances resonance while offering unprecedented adjustability so you can achieve the perfect feel, as well as new Claria electronics with an intuitive mid-contour control that makes it easy to get perfect plugged-in tone for amplified scenarios. Other details include chamfered body edges, a beveled armrest and cutaway, Weathervane inlays in grained ivoroid, and a satin finish with a Kona burst color for the top and back.
