DESCRIPTION
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 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.
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.
