Overview
524ce
With all-mahogany construction and a striking dusky aesthetic, the Taylor 524ce boasts sound and style in equal measure. Mahogany's fat midrange and focus takes a boost in power and sustain from V-Class bracing, which also improves harmonic agreement between notes for a more in-tune and expressive tone. Players will notice a balanced attack thanks to the natural compression effect of the mahogany top, which is helpful for dynamic strummers and aggressive flatpickers. With minimal overtones, the 524ce is an excellent option for recording applications and playing with other musicians.
"This guitar is going to serve well for many different genres from pop to rock to jazz to country."
Features
Tropical Mahogany
A midrange powerhouse. Mahogany is prized for balance and articulation, making it one of the best all-around tonewoods there is.
Expression System® 2
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
V-Class Bracing
Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
