Identical to the 524 model with the exception of the cherry wine finish. This is a deep burgundy all-over color that tends to hide the figure in the wood a bit. The 524CW seems to have been produced in similarly large quantities to the 524. The mandolin should be marked CW on the interior label if it has one.

The color of the catalog image above, which shows a burst on the edges of the mandolin, is not really accurate.
