Product Description
The Taylor 224ce-K DLX is a stunning Grand Auditorium electro acoustic that pairs the shimmering, focused tone of Hawaiian koa with Taylor’s effortless playability and stage-ready electronics. With a solid koa top, layered koa back and sides and Taylor’s Expression System 2 pickup, it delivers a balanced, articulate sound that shines in both fingerstyle and strummed contexts, all wrapped up in a luxurious full-gloss shaded edgeburst finish.
Sonically, the 224ce-K DLX offers koa’s trademark lustrous midrange, clear top-end sparkle and a touch of warmth in the lows, giving you a refined, contemporary acoustic voice that sits beautifully in a mix. The comfortable, slim Taylor neck and Venetian cutaway make it easy to explore the entire fretboard, while the ebony fingerboard and bridge add a smooth, premium playing feel.
Visually, this guitar is built to inspire. The full-body gloss finish and shaded edgeburst show off the natural figuring and colour of the koa, complemented by subtle faux pearl appointments and sleek black binding. Plugged in, Taylor’s Expression System 2 captures the guitar’s acoustic character with impressive clarity and dynamic response, making it a reliable partner for live performance and recording alike.
Hawaiian Koa Tone and Looks
With a solid Hawaiian koa top and layered koa back and sides, the 224ce-K DLX delivers a voice that is clear, focused and musical. Expect a rich, singing midrange, sparkling highs and a gentle warmth in the bass that keeps everything balanced and controlled. The striking grain and natural colour variations of koa, enhanced by the shaded edgeburst, make this a guitar that looks every bit as special as it sounds.
Comfortable Grand Auditorium with Cutaway
Taylor’s Grand Auditorium body shape offers a versatile tonal profile that works brilliantly for strumming, flatpicking and fingerstyle. It provides enough low-end presence for rhythm work while staying tight and articulate for more intricate playing. The Venetian cutaway gives easy access to the upper frets, encouraging you to make full use of the neck for solos, melodic lines and extended chord voicings.
Effortless Taylor Playability
The slim, standard-carve neck made from Neo-Tropical mahogany, paired with a West African Crelicam ebony fretboard, delivers the smooth, fast feel Taylor are known for. The comfortable 1-11/16" nut width and 25-1/2" scale length offer a familiar, easy-playing experience, whether you are a developing player or a seasoned performer. Matte neck and peghead finishes keep everything feeling sleek and non-sticky under the hand.
Expression System 2 Electronics
Equipped with Taylor’s Expression System 2, the 224ce-K DLX is ready for the stage or studio. The ES2 design captures the guitar’s natural acoustic tone with impressive detail and dynamic range, giving you a clear, organic sound when plugged in. It responds well to different playing styles and touch, so your nuances come through whether you are gently fingerpicking or digging in with a pick.
Features
- Solid Hawaiian Koa Top - The solid koa soundboard provides a clear, articulate voice with a rich midrange and shimmering treble, ideal for players who want definition and musicality across a wide range of styles.
- Grand Auditorium Body with Venetian Cutaway - This versatile body shape balances warmth and clarity, making it equally at home with strumming and fingerstyle, while the cutaway lets you reach higher frets comfortably for solos and extended chords.
