Expertly crafted for unmatched comfort and exceptional tonal clarity, the Builder’s Edition 514ce boasts ergonomic contours, beautiful aesthetics and our finest all-solid-wood construction. This cutaway Grand Auditorium pairs a natural Sitka spruce top with Shamel ash back and sides, responsibly sourced from trees in need of removal from municipal areas in Southern California. Together, they offer a warm, punchy midrange, crisp trebles and impressive low-end presence.
Our innovative V-Class internal bracing improves sustain, volume and intonation along the entire neck. Thoughtful design touches such as a beveled armrest, chamfered edges, a contoured cutaway and a sleek Curve Wing bridge make it incredibly comfortable to hold and play. The body also features a rich gloss finish.
Premium details include our Compass inlay scheme, Gotoh 510 antique chrome tuners, a firestripe pickguard, and black/ivoroid purfling. Equipped with ES2 electronics for rich, natural plugged-in tone, this model ships with a deluxe hardshell case.
