Taylor 224ce-UA DLX LTD A/E Grand Auditorium, Urban Ash Top, Sunburst Finish w/ Case

The 224ce DLX LTD acoustic-electric is Taylor's first-ever layered-wood urban ash guitar. This limited-edition Grand Auditorium model features a solid urban ash top paired with layered urban ash back and sides, complemented with a hard rock maple neck. It delivers a bold mid-range response with a distinctively dry, woody character, not unlike high-quality mahogany. With its remarkable balance and clarity, this all-urban ash acoustic-electric offers wide-ranging utility in recording environments, and also performs beautifully alongside other instruments or as a solo player’s guitar.

Additional appointments for the 224ce include crisp white binding, a single-ring rosette in Italian acrylic and faux pearl, small diamond fretboard inlays in Italian acrylic and faux pearl, gold Taylor tuning machines, a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard and built-in Expression System 2 electronics for a faithful plugged-in sound. The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors, enabling a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured while playing plugged-in. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed “professional audio”-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. The Taylor 224ce DLX also includes a hardshell case for protection between gigs.
