All solid Hawaiian koa
One of the most desirable acoustic tonewoods, Hawaiian koa offers a unique balance of warmth, clarity and harmonic richness. Visually, it’s instantly captivating thanks to its natural figure and depth, and sonically it develops character as it ages. With playing time, koa’s initial brightness mellows into a sweeter, more complex tonal palette. The K22ce makes full use of these qualities by using solid koa for the top, back, and sides, giving the guitar a cohesive voice that responds beautifully to touch.
Comfortable Grand Concert body
The Grand Concert body is known for its smaller size and focused sound, making it particularly suited to fingerstyle and players who prefer a more intimate feel. Its controlled low end keeps the tone articulate, while the responsive midrange helps intricate passages shine through. Whether used for delicate arrangements, alternate tunings or solo performance, the K22ce offers a refined playing experience that feels both comfortable and precise.
Enhanced by V Class bracing
Taylor’s V Class bracing design improves sustain, projection and intonation stability by allowing the top to vibrate more efficiently. This results in a guitar that feels more dynamic and balanced across the entire fretboard. Notes ring longer, chords sound cleaner and the instrument responds more readily to subtle shifts in picking strength. For recording or live performance, the added sustain and improved harmonic response make the K22ce exceptionally versatile.
Stage ready ES2 electronics
Fitted with Taylor’s Expression System 2, the K22ce delivers a natural amplified sound that closely captures the guitar’s true acoustic character. The behind-the-saddle pickup design responds to movement in the top rather than string pressure alone, giving a more realistic dynamic feel. Whether you’re playing on stage, practising through an acoustic amp or recording direct, ES2 ensures the guitar’s warmth and detail remain intact. Paired with high-quality hardware and Taylor’s renowned build standards, the K22ce is ready for any musical setting.
