Taylor Guitars is proud to offer the 224ce-K DLX, a stunning Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar with a voice as vibrant as its appearance. At its heart is a solid Hawaiian koa top, producing a balanced and articulate tone with shimmering highs, warm lows and a musical compression that evens out the attack. The koa top is paired with layered koa back and sides, yielding visual allure along with durability. The 224ce-K DLX ships with Taylor's groundbreaking Expression System 2 pickup, which accurately amplifies the instrument's acoustic properties with intuitive volume, bass and treble controls.

Solid Koa Top Radiates Resonance

As the primary tone filter, the 224ce-K DLX's solid koa top significantly impacts its voice. Koa's natural compression produces an even, balanced response, with fundamentals as clear and direct as mahogany but extra sparkle in the highs and warmth in the lows. Layered koa back and sides complement the top tonally while enhancing the visuals, with a shaded edgeburst finish that showcases koa's rich colors.

Expression System 2 Pickup Captures Acoustic Nuance

Taylor's revolutionary Expression System 2 pickup accurately conveys the 224ce-K DLX's acoustic properties when plugged in. Featuring three strategically positioned sensors behind the saddle, it captures the guitar's full tonal range. Volume, bass and treble controls provide further tonal shaping, allowing the player to dial in their perfect amplified sound.

Fast, Comfortable Neck and Cutaway For Easy High-Fret Access

The 224ce-K DLX's genuine mahogany neck and ebony fretboard make for a fast, comfortable playing experience. A Venetian cutaway provides effortless access to higher frets for soloing.

Premium Appointments and Deluxe Hardshell Case

Binding, dot inlays and chrome hardware appoint the 224ce-K DLX with understated elegance. A deluxe hardshell case protects the instrument during transport and storage.
