A dream for acoustic enthusiasts: the Taylor 424ce Special Edition All Walnut.

Taylor 424ce Special Edition All Walnut body

Solid walnut and the innovative V-Class bracing create a full sound.

Walnut and V-Class Bracing

Absolute innovation proves Taylor here with the patented V-Class-Bracing, which allows an improved vibration of the top and thus ensures an increased assertiveness of the sound. The top, back and sides of solid walnut also contribute to a high sound volume and produce, due to the dense structure, concise highs and a fast resonance in the midrange. A balanced sound is furthermore created by the compact Grand Auditorium design, whose sound is characterized by full basses and present midrange and treble frequencies.

Taylor 424ce Special Edition All Walnut neck

The grippy mahogany neck and a cutaway promise the highest playing comfort.

Mahogany neck with 44.5 mm nut width

While the mahogany neck with its ergonomic standard carve neck profile is extremely comfortable in the hand, the 44.5 mm wide nut meets all the requirements for powerful strumming and delicate fingerpicking. The fretting hand glides as if by magic over the smooth deep black ebony fingerboard, whose texture makes fast chord changes and rapid tone sequences child's play, while nickel-plated die-cast tuning machines guarantee high tuning stability. Even the higher registers are easily accessible, as a generous cutaway allows for completely unobstructed access to them.

Taylor 424ce Special Edition All Walnut Pickup

The Taylor Expression System 2 transmits a natural sound.

Taylor Expression System 2

Using three piezo elements under the bridge, the Expression System 2, specially developed by Taylor, picks up the acoustic signals of each pair of strings individually and transmits them directly to the amplifier. In this way, this first-class pickup system for acoustic guitars guarantees a completely undistorted sound transmission, which excellently brings out the natural sound of the Taylor 424ce Special Edition All Walnut. For this purpose, the system has three discreet pots in the upper frame that allow individual adjustment of volume, bass and treble. Thus, this innovative development raises the amplification of acoustic guitars to a completely new level.

The attractive design makes the model an absolute total package.

Elegant look

Last but not least, the Taylor 424ce Special Edition All Walnut impresses with its highly attractive design that scores in every respect. The basis for this is the Shaded-Edgeburst finish, which not only shows a beautiful color gradient but also allows the natural grain of the woods to shine through, which is additionally skillfully set off by a high-gloss finish. The guitar is also not lacking in visual details for chic accents. The tortoise pickguard, white bindings, a single-ring rosette made of abalone and, of course, the classic-looking Renaissance fingerboard inlays give the model that certain something and make it an eye-catcher on any stage.

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 craftsmen 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. In addition, only the deep black heartwood, which is 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 thus been working since 2011 with the Crelicam Wood Mill in Yaoundé in Cameroon to promote controlled consumption by processing waste products.

"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.
