Taylor Builder's Edition 524ce - kona burst

Grand Auditorium-style electro-acoustic steel-string acoustic guitar with cutaway, a versatile model for professionals or enlightened amateurs, made in the USA.
With its solid Mahogany top, solid Shamel Ash body and Ebony fingerboard, the TAYLOR Builder's Edition 524ce is a high-quality instrument that's as comfortable to play (chamfered armrest) as it is to play, whether at home, in the studio or on stage. The Mahogany provides warmth, solid mids and natural compression. Shamel Ash is sourced from trees growing in Californian urban environments and destined for destruction for land-use or safety reasons. The Grand Auditorium shape has been Taylor's flagship since 1994, unquestionably the brand's most popular. A true Swiss Army knife for the guitarist, this intermediate size between Grand Concert and Dreadnought is both extremely comfortable and acoustically versatile. Taylor Expression System 2 Preamp: in order to faithfully reproduce the amplitude and fundamental character of their acoustics, Taylor took several years to develop the Expression System (ES). Thanks to new sensors and a substantially redesigned circuit, Expression System 2 offers even greater responsiveness and dynamics, and according to Taylor, around 25% more warmth.
