The Taylor 220ce-K DLX electro acoustic guitar in natural is beautiful single-cutaway dreadnought that combines elegant design with a solid gig-ready feel. Incorporating exotic tonewoods, reliable hardware, superb Taylor electronics and a glorious finish, the 220ce-K DLX is an outstanding model that any guitarist will love.

Powerful dreadnought body

The 220ce-K DLX is built to the powerful dreadnought body profile, which marries comfortability with a confident projection that has helped it to become one of the most popular body shapes of all time. Whether you're a soloist or perform as part of an ensemble, the dreadnought ensures that your tone will ring out loud and clear.

The back and sides are crafted using layered koa, a durable tonewood that generates a warm midrange energy. The layered design of the back and sides allows the body to cope with changes in humidity and temperature resiliently. The top is built from Hawaiian Koa, which ensures a breath taking visual aesthetic, as well as developing a rich and luxurious character during the course of its lifetime. The body has received a slender yet durable gloss coating to prevent tackiness or stickiness from occurring, whilst adding protection to the heavenly natural finish.

Sturdy sapele neck

Fitted to the body is a sturdy sapele neck, which has been treated to a satin coating that ensures a smooth playing feel. Paired with the neck is a sumptuous ebony fingerboard, which is home to 20-frets that are adorned with small diamond inlays to provide a stylish navigational aid.

Taylor's Expression System 2

The 220ce-K DLX benefits from Taylor's newly designed Expression System 2 (ES2), their behind-the-saddle pickup and custom-designed ""professional-audio""-grade preamp. As part of their never-ending quest for better tone, they shifted their usual 'under-the-saddle' design as they found that by placing the pickup behind the saddle, a less brittle, brash and synthetic sound could be captured. This means that no matter how aggressively you play, the natural warmth produced by the tonewoods rings out beautifully without colouring the signal or blemishing the natural timbre of the guitar in any way.

The control layout features the same volume and tone control knobs as on the original Expression System, with Taylor changing the gain structure of the preamp slightly to make it a little hotter. When playing live, this subtle adjustment gives the 220ce-K DLX the boost you need to be heard loud and clear.

If it's a stylish yet understated model you're looking for, then the Taylor 220ce-K DLX electro acoustic guitar is perfect. Thanks to some carefully considered appointments
