Taylor 222ce-K DLX, Shaded Edgeburst, Electro Acoustic Guitar, Koa
The Taylor 222ce-K DLX is a beautifully crafted acoustic-electric guitar that blends premium feel, stunning koa aesthetics, and Taylor’s renowned playability into a compact and versatile package. Featuring a solid Hawaiian koa top with layered koa back and sides, the 222ce-K DLX delivers a warm, focused tone with sparkling highs and rich midrange character that continues to open up and mature over time.
Its comfortable Grand Concert body shape makes it especially popular with fingerstyle players, offering a balanced response and relaxed playing feel that works equally well for strumming, studio recording, and live performance. The slim mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, and Venetian cutaway provide smooth playability and effortless upper-fret access, while Taylor’s Expression System 2 electronics deliver natural amplified tone with excellent clarity.
Hawaiian koa top
The Taylor 222ce-K DLX features a solid Hawaiian koa top, known for its unique tonal character and stunning appearance. Koa provides a bright, punchy sound with clear trebles and a midrange that becomes richer over time. As the wood matures, the guitar’s tone develops warm, sweet overtones, making it an instrument that rewards years of playing.
Layered koa back and sides
This model boasts beautifully figured layered koa for the back and sides, adding durability while maintaining the striking aesthetic appeal koa is famous for. The layered construction enhances the guitar’s resilience without compromising on its tonal quality, giving you the best of both worlds—stunning looks and long-lasting performance.
Grand concert body shape
The Grand Concert body shape of the 222ce-K DLX is compact and comfortable, making it ideal for fingerstyle players and those seeking a more intimate, focused sound. Its smaller size delivers a well-balanced tonal response, making it perfect for delicate picking as well as light strumming, without losing clarity or precision.
Expression System® 2 electronics
Equipped with Taylor’s Expression System® 2 electronics, this guitar ensures a clear, natural tone when amplified. The behind-the-saddle pickup design accurately captures the dynamics of the guitar, delivering a full, balanced sound whether on stage or in the studio. It’s the perfect setup for those seeking to take their acoustic sound to the next level.
