Taylor 224ce-K DLX Acoustic Guitar Koa W/Pick-Up

Like a fine wine, the Taylor 224ce-K DLX promises to only get better with age. The crisp snap, strong mids, and sparkling highs exhibited by this acoustic-electric guitar’s all-koa body will reach new levels of richness, sweetness, and resonance as this instrument matures. Of course, the 224ce-K DLX’s eminently comfortable neo-tropical mahogany neck and easy-playing West African ebony fingerboard ensure that you’ll be playing this guitar for a long, long time. When it’s time to perform, ES2 electronics produce top-notch amplified tone. In addition to its stunning koa body, the 224ce-K DLX also features gorgeous black binding; a single-ring faux pearl rosette with interlocking “fishbone” pattern; and Italian acrylic, small diamond fingerboard inlays.

The wonderful look and sound of koa

Koa is a treasured tonewood that’s only found on the Hawaiian Islands. In Hawaiian, koa means “bold,” a word that surely describes this wood’s gorgeous, curly grain, figuring, and of course, its rich acoustic tone. Koa is prized for its combination of warm tone and beautiful looks. You can bet this Taylor 224ce-K DLX looks as good as it sounds!

Grand Auditorium body style gives you exceptional treble zing

The 224ce-K DLX features Taylor’s beloved Grand Auditorium body style, which employs the width and depth of a dreadnought with a narrower waist. The result is a sleeker look, with more treble top end. This body style also helps to sharpen the definition of each note. Ultimately, from fingerpicking to medium strumming, the Grand Auditorium is a great choice for any playing style and genre.

Taylor’s Expression System 2 delivers incredibly natural sound with full dynamics

If you play plugged in, then you’re going to love the Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics built into your 224ce-K DLX. The key to this fantastic system is the 3-section proprietary pickup located behind the saddle. Due to where it’s positioned and how it’s integrated into the 224ce-K DLX’s saddle, the ES2 pickup provides you with remarkably clear and accurate sound. In addition to a master volume control, a pair of tone controls lets you tweak your highs and lows to get the sound you need, and a discrete phase switch offers vital onboard feedback suppression.
