Key Features
Product Ref: 110078
The Taylor 524ce NAMM LTD features a body constructed entirely from solid walnut, which not only offers a pleasing aesthetic, but projects a truly sonically-pleasing tone, well-suited to a wide range of genres and playing styles. Similar to koa, walnut's stiffness and density project bright trebles with more emphasis in the mid-range and plenty of clarity. When first received, the 524ce's walnut construction starts out quite deep in tone with a woody characteristic. As the Taylor NAMM LTD is played more, the deeper, woodier tone will fill out, growing richer overtime and only getting better with age and extended play. In addition, the player who prefers a blend of subtle brightness, superb projection and warm overtones is certain to adore the response of the Taylor 524ce. Furthermore, the overall tone produced combined with the grand auditorium body is perfectly-suited to numerous genres including, folk, blues, country and pop as well as various fingerpicking styles and more alternative techniques.
Equipped with high-quality ES2 electronics, the Taylor 524ce NAMM LTD is perfect for the more professional recording or performing musician. The ES2 is a revolutionary design that projects Taylor's incredible dedication to acoustic guitar amplification. Additionally, the ES2 pickup captures the guitar's natural acoustic voice as well as more dynamic properties using a unique and innovative behind-the-saddle design. With a behind-the-saddle design and three uniquely positioned pickup sensors, the Expression System 2 faithfully picks-up more of the Taylor's dynamic range for a true and clear representation of the guitar's acoustic voice. Furthermore, with the innovative pickup design combined with Taylor's custom-designed 'professional audio' - grade preamp, the overall system produces a premium yet exceptionally faithful amplified tone. With this, the Taylor 524ce NAMM LTD is perfect for studio use, stage work, professional tours, and the Taylor enthusiast craving a limited edition NAMM exclusive for their collection.
First introduced in 1994 the grand auditorium became an idyllic all purpose instrument with an extremely versatile sonic-footprint, providing the player with an original acoustic voice with impressive balance. Built to accommodate both medium strength strumming to lighter and more alternative fingerpicking styles, this all-purpose and dynamic instrument can handle almost anything. In addition, the grand auditorium also produces clear, well-defined notes, perfectly suited to numerous genres and playing styles. Furthermore, the 524ce's overall presence tracks beautifully well with other instruments in the studio and when playing live with other musicians. This multi-dimensional instrument is also perfect for the singer-songwriter as its versatility and comfortable shape make the 524ce ideal for composing and singing with. Lastly, the Taylor 524ce NAMM LTD also offers a comfortable playing experience throughout both seated and standing performances, as its more compact and curvaceous body is easy to hold, whilst the cutaway profile makes upper fret work easy to achieve.
The Venetian Cutaway is renowned for its soft, round lines, creating a visually stunning look that is recognisable on any body. This type of cutaway allows easier access to the upper frets for a comfortable play, and enables you with more freedom throughout the fingerboard.
Equipped with performance bracing, the Taylor 524ce offers superior volume and projection, as well as an enhanced tone. In addition, Taylor's performance bracing features the standard X-brace but with modifications that influence how the top vibrates in relation to the back and sides. The overall result of Taylor's performance bracing is an enhanced tone with superb power and volume. Lastly, bracing is extremely important for the guitar's structure as it reinforces the overall body whilst preventing the guitar from collapsing under string tension.
