Taylor 222ce-K DLX Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Koa, Shaded Edgeburst, w/ Hardshell Case

The Taylor 222ce-K DLX Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar brings Taylor’s precision craftsmanship into a deluxe Grand Concert format. With roots tied to Taylor’s tradition of combining contemporary feel with bold material selection, this model expands the family of smaller-body guitars built for articulation and control. Artists ranging from Jason Mraz to Lindsey Buckingham have favored Taylor guitars for their balance of comfortable ergonomics and clean, versatile sound—an ethos continued in the 222ce-K DLX.

The 222ce-K DLX is constructed with a solid Hawaiian koa top paired with layered Hawaiian koa back and sides. The natural properties of koa offer visual complexity with striking grain patterns under a Shaded Edgeburst gloss finish. Supporting the top is traditional X-bracing, a time-tested internal structure that balances resonance with physical stability. The Grand Concert body shape is known for its smaller footprint and refined response, and includes a Venetian cutaway to allow access to upper frets without obstruction.

Ornamentation on the 222ce-K DLX is carefully considered: faux pearl Sentinel inlays mark the West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard, while Taylor’s gold tuning machines add a subtle accent to the visual design. The 24-7/8" scale length and 1-11/16" nut width contribute to an approachable playing experience across the 20 frets. Electronics are handled by Taylor’s proprietary Expression System 2 (ES2), a behind-the-saddle pickup design coupled with discrete volume, treble, and bass controls placed along the side for easy access. The bridge mirrors the fingerboard in Crelicam ebony, further emphasizing the guitar’s premium build standards.

Finished in a high-gloss Shaded Edgeburst and protected in an included Taylor hardshell case, the 222ce-K DLX represents a focused evolution of the Grand Concert model lineage, tailored for players who demand precision without sacrificing aesthetic refinement.
