Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a right-handed Grand Concert body, the 222ce-K Deluxe combines a solid Hawaiian koa top with layered figured Hawaiian koa back and sides. Its smaller body is suited to fingerpicking and lighter strumming, with an acoustic voice described as balanced and articulate. A Venetian cutaway reaches the upper frets. For amplified rehearsal, stage, or recording work, the ES2 system provides behind-the-saddle sensing plus volume, active bass, and active treble adjustment. A Taylor deluxe hardshell case is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fingerpicked melodies, lighter strumming, or energetic flatpicking that benefits from the Grand Concert’s articulate response.
- Stage or recording setups needing adjustable amplified tone through the ES2 electronics.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, as this is the right-handed version.
