Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

This Taylor will grab your eyes and ears with a beautiful all Koa design that will suit many different playstyles! The consistency you expect from Taylor is here as always and the sound is very versatile whether you're strumming chords or doing a bit of fingerstyle playing. Koa gives a nice complex sound that is very balanced and will make sure that you're hearing every note of your chords and not getting an overpowering low or high end. As you'd expect the playability is wonderful on this instrument and it features Taylor's Expression 2 system which means you'll be ready to play the couch or the stage with this lovely 224CE!

From Taylor Guitars

Fans of Hawaiian koa will love the look, feel and sound of this all-koa Grand Auditorium. A shaded edgeburst elevates the vintage appeal of the solid koa top, which is paired with layered koa back and sides, while a gloss finish wraps the body in a rich sheen. The Grand Auditorium’s musical versatility makes this a great all-purpose guitar for both strumming and fingerpicking, and the hardwood koa top will even out a lively attack to produce a focused, linear voice. Player-friendly modern features include a cutaway and Taylor’s ES2 acoustic electronics. Among the distinctive appointments are a single-ring faux pearl rosette in an interlocking “fishbone” pattern, black binding, Italian acrylic small diamond inlays, and chrome tuners. The guitar ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
