Koa Body
The 724ce’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.
The cutaway is a player-friendly premium feature.
Cutaway design
The Venetian cutaway enhances the guitar’s playability by providing easy access to the upper frets, ideal for lead lines, solos, or advanced fingerstyle. The mahogany neck combined with a smooth ebony fingerboard ensures effortless fretting across all 20 frets, which are adorned with refined mother-of-pearl Fountain inlays. This thoughtful design makes the 724ce an ideal instrument for both stage professionals and discerning players.
The Expression System 2 is an innovative in-house development.
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.
The MOP Fountain inlays also visually enhance the fingerboard.
Decorative highlights
Visually, the Taylor 724ce is every bit as impressive as it sounds. A high-gloss Natural finish accentuates the koa’s captivating grain, while rosewood binding, a matching rosewood pickguard, and a shimmering abalone rosette provide tasteful contrast. Polished bronze Taylor tuners add a touch of vintage class and ensure stable, accurate tuning. These decorative highlights make the 724ce as visually stunning as it is sonically rich.
Taylor - The epitome of the finest quality
As one of the largest guitar manufacturers, Taylor is a true authority in the production of first-class instruments. Professional production by trained specialists results in the finest products for life, whose value is always maintained - or even increases! This is due in equal part to the exquisite tonewoods, which do not warp due to long storage and selected quality and are therefore hard to beat in terms of high quality. Only spruce, mahogany, cedar or Koa of proven quality are used for the tops. 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 allow even the smallest defects to slip through and ensures absolutely flawless guitars before dispatch.
As if that were not enough, Taylor also attaches great importance to acting in an environmentally conscious manner.
Ebony & Koa: Sustainability at Taylor Guitars
Uncontrolled deforestation and overexploitation lead to massively endangered wood species that can no longer regenerate due to the high rate of extraction. 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
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.
"We need to use the ebony that the forest gives us" - Bob Taylor

Siglo Tonewoods Project
The koa acacia population has also suffered heavy losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry and overexploitation have led to a decline that can only be halted through proactive action and reforestation. This is why Taylor Guitars, together with Pacific Rim Tonewoods, founded the Siglo Tonewoods project, which aims to rebuild the Hawaiian jungle. This is a large cultivation area for koa acacia and other species, which enables the use of koa wood on a controlled scale.
