Sonically, the 224ce-K DLX offers koa’s trademark lustrous midrange, clear top-end sparkle and a touch of warmth in the lows, giving you a refined, contemporary acoustic voice that sits beautifully in a mix. The comfortable, slim Taylor neck and Venetian cutaway make it easy to explore the entire fretboard, while the ebony fingerboard and bridge add a smooth, premium playing feel. Visually, this guitar is built to inspire.

Hawaiian Koa Tone and Looks With a solid Hawaiian koa top and layered koa back and sides, the 224ce-K DLX delivers a voice that is clear, focused and musical. Expect a rich, singing midrange, sparkling highs and a gentle warmth in the bass that keeps everything balanced and controlled. The striking grain and natural colour variations of koa, enhanced by the shaded edgeburst, make this a guitar that looks every bit as special as it sounds. Comfortable Grand Auditorium with Cutaway Taylor’s Grand Auditorium body shape offers a versatile tonal profile that works brilliantly for strumming, flatpicking and fingerstyle. It provides enough low-end presence for rhythm work while staying tight and articulate for more intricate playing. The Venetian cutaway gives easy access to the upper frets, encouraging you to make full use of the neck for solos, melodic lines and extended chord voicings. Effortless Taylor Playability The slim, standard-carve neck made from Neo-Tropical mahogany, paired with a West African Crelicam ebony fretboard, delivers the smooth, fast feel Taylor are known for. The comfortable 1-11/16″ nut width and 25-1/2″ scale length offer a familiar, easy-playing experience, whether you are a developing player or a seasoned performer. Matte neck and peghead finishes keep everything feeling sleek and non-sticky under the hand.
