Description

At the heart of this Taylor 224ce-K DLX is its construction, featuring a top made Hawaiian Koa wood. This tonewood is notable for its unique properties, offering a warmth and clarity to the guitar's sound that's distinctive and rich. Complementing the top, the back and sides are crafted from layered Koa, adding to the guitar's visual appeal, and adding depth to its tonal character.

The neck of the 224ce-K DLX is constructed from Sapele, providing stability and a comfortable playing experience. The fingerboard, made from West African Crelicam Ebony, enhances the guitar's aesthetic and also makes for a smooth and responsive surface for intricate playing. The fingerboard features a 16" radius, making this fretboard very playable. 

The 224ce-K DLX stands out visually with Italian acrylic small diamond inlays that add a touch of sophistication to the fretboard, and chrome tuners add to that appearance while providing precise and reliable tuning. The Grand Auditorium body shape of the 224ce-K DLX is designed to offer a versatile playing experience suitable for various musical styles, and forward-shifted bracing pattern enhances the guitar's projection and sustain, delivering a balanced and articulate sound from this Koa guitar.

This instrument comes equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 acoustic electric pickup system, that ensures that the natural tone of the guitar are accurately reproduced with fidelity. In a natural gloss finish that accentuates the beauty of the Hawaiian Koa wood, and with a pearloid rosette adding elegance to the soundhole, this guitar offers a complete visual appeal.

Included with the 224ce-K DLX is the Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown case, providing optimal protection for your instrument. The satin-finished peghead and gold buttons add the final touches to this deluxe package, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that defines Taylor guitars.
