Curated koa and other tonewoods
The finest koa tonewood grows only on the Hawaiian Islands among the extremes of tropical weather and rugged volcanic mountainsides. In Hawaiian, koa means “bold,” which describes its stunning wood grain and unique acoustic tone. The 224ce-K DLX features a gloss-finished koa top, layered koa back and sides, and a mahogany neck topped with an ebony fingerboard and Sentinel inlays. The 224ce-K’s neck shape offers matchless comfort, even when reaching for high frets where a Venetian cutaway supports extra access. What’s more, like any koa guitar, the 224ce-K DLX opens up with additional low-end warmth the more it’s played over time.
Cutting-edge Taylor Expression System 2 electronics
Amplified players are going to love the Taylor Expression System 2 electronics built into the 224ce-K DLX! The ES2 system features a revolutionary segmented pickup located behind the bridge saddle; this pickup position delivers remarkably accurate and clear sound production that’s authentic to your playing. Each ES2 system features a handy master volume knob for fast level adjustments, in addition to a 2-band EQ for independent treble/bass adjustments to get the sound you need. Plus, the ES2 system also has a built-in phase switch, which offers essential feedback suppression whenever the system is active.
