Taylor 224CE-K-DLX Grand Auditorium Koa Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Deluxe

*These are stock photos. For actual photos of the instrument, please .

Beautifully finished to showcase the natural beauty of its Hawaiian koa back, sides and top, the Grand Auditorium 224ce-K DLX offers a high-end presentation to match a rich musical character. Paired with layered back and sides, the solid koa top serves up a vibrant response with a punchy midrange, also producing enough low-end presence to make this guitar sound incredibly balanced.

An upgraded set of aesthetic details elevates this model's visual appeal, with black binding and pickguard striking a contrast with a pearloid single-ring rosette and polished bronze tuners. It's all wrapped in a gleaming full-body gloss finish treated with a subtle shaded edgeburst that highlights koa's unique coloration. The 224ce-K DLX ships with built-in ES2 electronics and a deluxe brown Taylor hardshell guitar case.

Grand Auditorium
Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.

Hawaiian Koa Top
A koa top's visual beauty is instantly inspiring, while its sonic rewards unfold over time, as warm, sweet overtones gradually emerge.

Hawaiian Koa Body
Few woods carry the allure of Hawaiian koa, with its gorgeous figure and sweet, complex tone.

Expression System® 2 Electronics
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the guitar.
