The Limited Edition Grand Auditorium-style Western guitar has everything needed for a great stage performance

Design and wood create a great sound

Sound and construction

For the body and the solid top of the 224ce Dlx LTD Urban Ash Taylor uses ash wood (Urban Ash ), which is not only easy to work with, but also impresses with high resonance. Thanks to it, the guitar produces an assertive tone with strong highs. In addition, the V-Class bracing provides an even, two-dimensional vibration behavior of the top wood, so that all notes spread quickly and clearly.

Exceptionally comfortable design for convenient handling

Playability

Due to its compact design and comfortable sapele neck, the Grand Auditorium guitar fits extremely well in the hand. Especially its 42.8 mm wide nut fulfills the ideal conditions for flatpicking and strumming, while the generous cutaway makes even the high registers freely accessible. Gold tun ers keep a robust tuning at the same time.

Taylor Expression System 2 for pristine sound

Electronics

The in-house Expression System 2 supports amplified playing for impressive performances. This special pickup system has a control unit in the frame for adjusting the output signal, while three pots ensure individual regulation of the bass and treble frequencies. The sound is thus faithfully reproduced, making it perfect especially for guitarists and guitarists who prefer the unadulterated sound of their guitar.

Attractive appearance for a perfect stage design

Design

The guitar is rounded off by the prominent Tobacco Sunburst finish with visual details. The striking color gradient is enhanced by visually appealing small-diamonds inlays as well as white bindings. The latter provide an interesting contrast to a Tortoise pickguard, which not only protects the material when playing with picks, but also offers another highlight.

Taylor - The epitome of fine quality

As one of the largest guitar manufacturers, Taylor is truly an authority in the production of first-class instruments. Thus, professional manufacturing by skilled crafts men results in the very finest products for life, whose value is always maintained - or even increased! This is due in equal part to exquisite tonewoods, which do not warp due to long storage and selected quality and as a result can hardly be surpassed in terms of high quality. Only spruce, mahogany, cedar or Koa of proven quality are used for the tops. By the way, careful production in combination with the best materials does not only apply to guitars. Guitar bags and all accessories are also of first-class quality. Finally, a conscientious final inspection does not let even the smallest defects pass and ensures absolutely flawless guitars even before shipment.

And that's not all: Taylor also attaches great importance to environmentally conscious actions.

Ebony & Koa: Sustainability at Taylor Guitars

Uncontrolled clearing of forests and overexploitation lead to massively endangered wood species, which can no longer regenerate due to the high pace of mining. These include ebony and koa in particular, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at Taylor Guitars.

Sustainable ebony cultivation in Cameroon

Because ebony 's hard, supple texture makes it particularly finger-friendly, it has long been the preferred choice for making fingerboards. Its attractive appearance is also extremely popular for bridges, headstock rests, bridge Pins and Bindings. However, high demand and a thriving black market outstripped stocks, landing ebony on the Red List of Endangered Species in 1994. Moreover, only the jet-black heartwood, which makes up only a fraction of the tree, was used, resulting in a disproportionately large amount of waste in production. In order to protect the forests, Taylor has therefore been working since 2011 with the Crelicam Wood Mill in Yaoundé in Cameroon to promote controlled consumption by processing waste products. Thus, not only black ebony elements are found in Taylor guitars, but also the different colored, more clearly grained parts of the tree. This complete recycling is an effective method of preserving stocks and successfully counteracts their dramatic decline and the negative ecological effects that accompany it.

"We need to use the ebony that the forest gives us" - Bob Taylor

Siglo Tonewoods Project

Koa acacia populations have also suffered severe losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry as well as overexploitation led to a decline that can only be stopped by proactive action and reforestation. Therefore, Taylor Guitars together with Pacific Rim Tonewoods founded the Siglo Tonewoods project, which aims to rebuild the Hawaiian virgin forest. This is a large cultivation area for koa acacia and other species, which allows the use of koa wood on a controlled scale.
