Versatile Grand Auditorium Body Shape
This lefty guitar features Taylor's popular Grand Auditorium body style. Slightly wider than a dreadnought, it's an extremely versatile design. Respond to delicate fingerpicking with singing overtones and balanced articulation across the tonal spectrum. Dig in more assertively, and it reacts with ample volume and a clear, focused voice. For an all-purpose acoustic that handles both nuanced playing and energetic strumming with ease, the Grand Auditorium is an excellent choice. Enjoy the comfort of its modest depth and contours while exploring the tonal possibilities.
Stunning Looks and Tone With Layered Koa
The back, sides and neck of this lefty guitar are crafted from layered Hawaiian koa for visual elegance and musicality. The multiple thin plies make the koa more stable and durable than solid wood. Tonally, it provides a perfect foundation for the solid koa top. Together they create a look that's simply stunning, sure to inspire your playing. And by optimizing resonance and stability, the layered koa contributes to the 224ce-K DLX's amazing acoustic voice. Express yourself through this lefty's clear fundamentals, balanced midrange and bell-like highs.
Innovative Pickup System Electrifies Your Playing
At the heart of this lefty's plugged-in prowess lies Taylor's revolutionary ES2 pickup system. It starts with patented, behind-the-saddle sensors that don't impede the saddle's natural movement. This enables the system to capture your acoustic tone with exceptional detail and dynamic range. The custom-designed preamp gives you professional audio quality along with intuitive control over EQ and volume. Just plug into your favorite amp or PA system and be amazed by the ES2's acoustic realism. Whether you want an intimate folk vibe or need to cut through a mix, this lefty guitar gives you the amplified versatility that serious players demand.
Deluxe Appointments Enhance Playability and Value
With its elegant Hawaiian koa, innovative ES-2 pickup and deluxe features, the 224ce-K DLX lefty guitar punches above its weight in value. Little touches like koa binding and a shaded edgeburst add sophistication, while a gloss finish enhances the koa's inherent beauty. The slim C-shape neck promotes comfortable fretting, while a TUSQ nut and Micarta saddle improve tone and intonation.
