What happens when you pair innovative, sustainable tonewood with classic Taylor design? The 224ce LTD Deluxe Urban Ash Acoustic-electric Guitar! This acoustic-electric powerhouse drips with elegance that fits in perfectly onstage or in the studio. The Grand Auditorium body plays comfortably in any position while built-in electronics and Taylor’s revolutionary V-class bracing ensure rich high-quality tone whether strummed at home or in front of an audience. The 224ce LTD Deluxe's body is made from 100% urban ash. Urban ash is sustainably sourced and produces tight tonal focus that’s rich like mahogany, but boasts its own distinguished personality that’s easy to love. And like all Taylor guitars, the playing experience is unparalleled. A rock maple neck and ebony fingerboard deliver stellar fretting comfort enhanced by a Venetian cutaway for maxed out upper-fret access. This special edition is limited to just 500 guitars worldwide. The Grand Auditorium player-friendly design is built for professionals who want to hop from style to style quickly without switching guitars! One of Taylor’s iconic guitar shapes, the Grand Auditorium’s comfortable low profile sonically outsized by its strong voice and projection. Since it's balanced across lows, mids, and highs, players who favor transparent-sounding guitars will love the 224ce LTD Deluxe’s warm and crisp fingerpicking response that darkens up when flatpicking or strumming with force. What’s more, for better access to upper frets, the 224ce LTD Deluxe also features Taylor’s signature Venetian cutaway. Taylor is a leading proponent of urban ash guitars; they harvest this wood primarily from old-growth trees that being removed for ecological or safety reasons in California. The 224ce LTD Deluxe’s top, back and sides are all made from urban ash, which is tonally quite similar to mahogany from Central America. Urban ash offers plenty of focus that emphasizes fundamental notes (with few overtones) and its sound readily adapts to different players and styles. The result is clear but stoic tone that adds more depth to the signature sparkle of a Taylor guitar. The 224ce LTD Deluxe also features a satin-finished hard rock maple neck complete with Taylor’s famous comfortable neck carve. Bracing supports each and every acoustic guitar’s interior, and, though it's almost invisible, bracing shapes guitar acoustics in a big way! X-shape bracing was standard on acoustics for over a century, but Taylor’s revolutionary V-bracing teases more volume and sustain out of a guitar’s sound chamber, even a slim-waisted guitar like the 224ce LTD Deluxe. V-bracing allows wooden acoustic tops to vibrate with more richness, projection, and sustain with more space inside the sound chamber for note maturation. This groundbreaking innovation also improves intonation and rounds out the hi-fi sound of top-of-the-line Taylor guitars like the 224ce LTD Deluxe. With built-in ES2 electronics, the 224ce LTD Deluxe is ready for the stage! The ES2 system features a revolutionary segmented pickup located behind the bridge saddle; this pickup position delivers remarkably accurate and clear sound production that’s authentic to your playing. Each ES2 system features a handy master volume knob for fast level adjustments, in addition to a 2-band EQ for independent treble/bass adjustments to get the sound you need. Plus, the ES2 system also has a built-in phase switch, which offers essential feedback suppression whenever the system is active.
