Body and Wood
The 222ce-K features a Grand Concert body shape, which is slightly smaller than the Grand Auditorium, making it incredibly comfortable to play while providing a focused and articulate sound. The top, back, and sides are crafted from Hawaiian koa, a highly prized tonewood known for its unique grain patterns and bright, complex tone. Over time, koa's tone becomes richer and sweeter, adding to the guitar's appeal as it ages.
Neck and Fingerboard
The neck of the 222ce-K is made from tropical mahogany, offering stability and a smooth playing experience. The fingerboard is crafted from West African Crelicam ebony, known for its durability and bright tonal characteristics. The fingerboard features small diamond inlays, adding a touch of elegance to the instrument.
Hardware and Electronics
The guitar is equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, which feature a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design with three individually calibrated pickup sensors. This system captures the guitar's natural dynamic properties and delivers a clear, authentic amplified tone. The controls for volume, bass, and treble are discreetly mounted on the upper bout for easy access. The bridge and saddle are made from West African Crelicam ebony and Micarta, respectively, enhancing the guitar's resonance and sustain.
Finish and Aesthetics
The 222ce-K boasts a luxurious gloss finish that highlights the beautiful figuring of the koa wood. The guitar's top is adorned with a single-ring faux pearl rosette, adding a touch of sophistication to its appearance. The binding is made from black plastic, providing a sleek contrast to the natural wood tones.
Playability and Sound
The Grand Concert body shape, combined with the koa tonewood, produces a bright, focused sound with excellent projection. The smaller body size makes it comfortable for fingerstyle playing and for players who prefer a more intimate playing experience. The koa wood adds a bright, crisp character to the sound, with a balanced midrange and sparkling trebles. As the guitar ages, the koa will develop a warmer, more resonant tone, making it a guitar that improves with time.
Accessories
The 222ce-K comes with a Taylor deluxe hardshell case, providing excellent protection for the instrument during transport and storage. This high-quality case ensures that the guitar remains safe and secure, whether at home or on the road.
