This model is a great example of how great Urban Ash can sound, sourced sustainably from California and offereing a great unique sound profile, similar to other hardwoods like mahogany. It looks great in this burst finish. From Taylor Guitar’s Website: "The 424ce LTD is a Grand Auditorium crafted with back, sides and top of solid Urban Ash. As a hardwood, Urban Ash delivers a natural compression effect that will sound familiar to players of mahogany or koa guitars, smoothing out the initial attack to yield a remarkably balanced profile across the frequency spectrum. This model serves up the same fundamental focus you would expect from mahogany-the note you play is the note you'll hear, and the restrained overtone response makes the 424ce LTD a superstar in recording applications. Inside, the V-Class bracing generates its trademark blend of enhanced volume and sustain, coaxing greater musicality and tunefulness from this versatile guitar. Appointments for this limited-edition model match its 400 Series counterparts and include black binding, a three-ring black rosette, Renaissance fretboard and peghead inlays in Italian acrylic, a black pickguard, Taylor satin black tuners, and a natural gloss finish that showcases the natural blonde hue and grain of Urban Ash. Comes with Deluxe Hardshell Case."
