The Builder’s Edition 524ce seamlessly blends premium craftsmanship, striking visuals and innovative, comfort-focused design features, making it an inspiring tool for players of all styles. Built to deliver unmatched playability, this gloss-finished Grand Auditorium features a beveled armrest, chamfered edges, a contoured cutaway and a Curve Wing bridge. Its solid mahogany top lends warmth, midrange emphasis and natural compression, while solid Shamel ash back and sides—responsibly sourced from municipalities in Southern California—add a warm, woody voice with a focus on fundamental notes and balanced overtones. Our patented V-Class bracing pattern dials up extra volume and sustain while improving intonation up and down the fretboard. Its Kona Burst and gloss finish present a dusky, alluring aesthetic, complemented by a firestripe pickguard, an Italian acrylic rosette and our Compass inlay motif. Outfitted with Gotoh 510 antique chrome tuners and ES2 electronics, the Builder’s Edition 524ce is a great choice for players seeking rich, balanced sound in a guitar that feels as good as it looks. For reliable protection in any situation, it ships in a deluxe hardshell case.
