Taylor 722ce Gloss

Koa Body

The 722ce’s body is crafted entirely from solid Hawaiian koa, a tonewood prized for its warm, clear tone and striking, varied grain. The result is a sound that is detailed, articulate, and well-balanced across the tonal spectrum. Thanks to Taylor’s patented V-Class bracing, the top vibrates more freely, improving sustain, volume, and overall resonance. Whether you're fingerpicking or strumming, the koa body offers expressive dynamics and tonal clarity that respond beautifully to every touch.

632 mm scale length

The slightly shorter 632 mm scale length ensures a relaxed playing feel and allows for maximum precision – even in demanding passages – thanks to the reduced string tension. The cutaway design provides easy access to the upper frets, letting the Taylor 722ce shine during virtuoso solos. With its smooth mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard, the hand glides effortlessly over the 20 frets, elegantly adorned with mother-of-pearl fountain inlays.

Taylor Expression System 2

For stage and studio use, the Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) delivers powerful, natural-sounding amplified tone. Positioned behind the saddle, this advanced pickup system captures the true essence of the guitar’s acoustic voice, preserving nuance and warmth. With discreet volume, bass, and treble controls on the upper bout, players can easily adjust their tone without disrupting the guitar’s elegant look. Whether live or recorded, the ES2 system ensures a clear, dynamic output that stays true to the instrument’s character.

Sustainable ebony cultivation in Cameroon

As ebony is particularly finger-friendly due to its hard, supple texture, it has long been the preferred choice for the production of fingerboards. Its attractive appearance is also extremely popular for bridges, headstock overlays, bridge Pins and Bindings. However, the high demand and the flourishing black market outstripped stocks, so that ebony ended up on the Red List of endangered species in 1994. In addition, only the deep black heartwood, which makes up only a fraction of the tree, was used, resulting in a disproportionately large amount of waste in production. To protect the forests, Taylor has been working with the Crelicam Wood Mill in Yaoundé, Cameroon, since 2011 to promote controlled consumption by processing waste products.
