Left-handed elegance and innovation in one stunning Taylor acoustic-electric.

The Taylor 222ce-K DLX left-handed model brings together the brand's passion for innovation and commitment to lefty players. This Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar boasts solid Hawaiian koa top and layered koa back and sides for a warm, balanced tone. Its sleek body style offers comfort and nuanced response. Revolutionary Taylor ES2 electronics ensure the 222ce-K DLX's natural acoustic voice shines through amplified. High-end features, like an Ebony fingerboard and Italian Acrylic appointments, elevate this guitar's refinement. Yet its attainable price makes Taylor quality accessible to discerning left-handed players. The 222ce-K DLX is a vision of elegance, comfort and musical inspiration.

Immerse Yourself in Hawaiian Koa's Warm, Balanced Tone

The 222ce-K DLX lefty model features solid Hawaiian koa top and layered koa back and sides for a beautifully balanced acoustic voice. Koa's natural compression evens out the attack, yielding strong fundamentals with a smooth roll-in to each note. You'll hear focused lows, clear mids and shimmering highs. The result is a warm, rich tone with plenty of complexity. Koa's sound falls between maple's brightness and mahogany's depth, making it extremely versatile. Fingerstylists, strummers and flatpickers will all enjoy the layered overtones and crisp note separation. The solid Koa top ensures impressive projection, while the gorgeous back and sides provide a complementary foundation for full-bodied resonance.

Sleek Grand Concert Body Offers Comfort and Control

The lefty 222ce-K DLX sports Taylor's comfortable Grand Concert body style. Slightly smaller than the Grand Auditorium shape, it provides a controlled voice that won't get lost in a mix. The Grand Concert is perfectly balanced for any playing style, from delicate fingerpicking to enthusiastic strumming. Its compact size lends itself to playing in your lap or on the couch. The slim waist is contoured for playing ease. And the cutaway grants comfortable access to the highest frets for solos. Whether you're a developing player honing your skills or a seasoned veteran, the Grand Concert shape facilitates nuanced musicality.

Revolutionary Taylor ES2 Pickup Preserves Acoustic Tone

This lefty 222ce-K DLX features Taylor's groundbreaking ES2 pickup system. The heart of ES2 is a patented behind-the-saddle pickup with three calibrated sensors. Since it doesn't sit under the saddle, the saddle maintains full contact with the bridge for optimal acoustic tone. The unique position of the ES2 pickup captures the guitar's natural voice with stunning accuracy. When playing plugged-in, you'll be amazed how closely it resembles the unplugged tone. ES2 makes no compromises, giving lefties amplified sound that's transparent, dynamic and full of harmonic richness. Gigging musicians will appreciate how the system preserves the Koa top's organic sound.

High-End Appointments Like Gloss Finish and White Binding

With its gloss finish, shaded edgeburst and white binding, the 222ce-K DLX is as beautiful to look at as it is to play. The gloss perfectly highlights the stunning figured Koa, while the edgeburst and binding add an elegant touch. This Grand Concert is a true work of art inside and out.
