Description
The Taylor 222ce-K DLX delivers a stunning combination of visual elegance, tonal richness, and unmatched playability in a compact Grand Concert body. Crafted entirely from Hawaiian koa—featuring a solid koa top and layered koa back and sides—this deluxe acoustic-electric guitar radiates both beauty and musical depth. Its tone is bright and focused at first, gradually opening up with warmth and sweetness as the wood matures over time, offering a truly rewarding sonic evolution.
Designed for comfort and versatility, the 222ce-K DLX features a slender neck profile and a 1-11/16-inch nut width, making it easy to play for musicians of all levels. The Grand Concert shape provides a balanced, articulate response ideal for fingerstyle, flatpicking, and light strumming. Aesthetic touches like a full-body gloss finish, gold hardware, and Taylor’s signature Venetian cutaway make this instrument as visually captivating as it is sonically expressive.
Equipped with Taylor’s Expression System® 2 electronics, the 222ce-K DLX delivers a natural, dynamic amplified tone that faithfully reproduces the guitar’s acoustic character. It comes complete with a Taylor deluxe hardshell case, ensuring reliable protection wherever your music takes you.
