The Korena take
Taylor’s right-handed 224ce-K Deluxe is a Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric built around a solid Hawaiian koa top with figured Hawaiian koa back and sides. Its Taylor ES2 system pairs a behind-the-saddle transducer with three-band EQ, volume control, a phase switch, and an onboard tuner for amplified use. The guitar has 20 frets, a 1.69-inch nut width, and a 25.5-inch scale length. A gloss body finish, satin neck finish, gold tuning machines, and hardshell case complete the package.
