The Builder's Edition 324ce represents a leap forward both in guitar design and responsible wood-sourcing. Locally, responsibly sourced Urban Ash comprises the back and sides of this Grand Auditorium, paired with a tropical mahogany top for a focused, punchy midrange response and natural compression that evens out a dynamic attack. Builder's Edition appointments for this model include the Silent Satin finish, beveled armrest and cutaway, and chamfered body edge treatment, all working in concert to provide a relaxed playing experience and a clean sound. V-Class bracing sits at the foundation, powering the Builder's Edition 324ce to produce powerful volume and long, blooming sustain. Complete with ES2 electronics and a hardshell case, this model makes a compelling case for Urban Ash as a serious acoustic tonewood and for the Builder's Edition family as the pinnacle of acoustic guitar innovation.

Tropical Mahogany is a nice change-up to a Spruce top guitar.  Mahogany will add natural compression to the guitar and add a nice thick midrange bump in your tops EQ.  It has been a popular top of many players and once you play one, you'll see why.  Taylor has loved Mahogany for many reasons and you will see it on many models and across many different price points.  This is popular for blues players or anyone looking for a bold, earthy sound to their guitar.  

Other appointments include Compass inlays in faux pearl and Italian acrylic, Gotoh 510 tuners with a super-precise 21:1 gear ratio, a Silent Satin finish with a dark edgeburst treatment for an ultra-clean, noise-free sound, and ES2 electronics. It ships in a deluxe Taylor hardshell case.
