Resonant Tone With a Chambered Koa Body

The body is also fully chambered, which allows the Koa to resonate freely. You'll hear and feel more natural acoustic tone as a result. The soundhole and bracing are optimized for volume and articulation. And with its smooth contours and detailed appointments, the 224ce-K has eye-catching vintage vibe.
Shape Your Sound With the ES2 Pickup System
Plug in the 224ce-K Deluxe to access the revolutionary Taylor ES2 pickup system. This gives you total control over your amplified tone thanks to individual volume, treble, mid and bass controls. There's also a phase switch and built-in tuner. The discreet pickup senses your playing dynamics and responds naturally. Dial in anything from bright, detailed tones to warm, robust sounds. You can even blend in the guitar's acoustic voice. The ES2 makes it easy to get amazing amplified sound.
Comfortable Feel Inspired by Electric Guitars
While the 224ce-K Deluxe is an acoustic, Taylor designed many of its playability features with electric guitarists in mind. It has a slim neck profile with a 1-11/16" nut width and 15" fingerboard radius. This feels familiar and fast if you're used to electric necks. The shorter 24-7/8" scale length also facilitates comfortable fretting. Whether you're coming from an electric or acoustic background, you'll find this guitar a joy to play.
Premium Appointments Complete the Package
The 224ce-K Deluxe looks as good as it sounds thanks to premium appointments. You'll notice the striking Hawaiian Koa wood grain, shaded edgeburst finish and multi-ring rosette. Other details like the chrome tuners, Tusq nut and saddle, ebony bridge and black binding add elegance. And the guitar ships in a deluxe Taylor hardshell case for protection. With remarkable tonewoods, electronics and playability, the 224ce-K Deluxe is a seriously inspirational instrument.
