Overview

A Grand Auditorium guitar with earthy, warm mahogany tones.

The Taylor 24ce Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar provides excellent quality and sound for its price, making it a great option for musicians wanting Taylor's well-known playability without a high cost. It features a solid mahogany top combined with layered African sapele back and sides, producing a warm, earthy tone with clear midrange sounds. Its Grand Auditorium body shape offers balanced sound projection suitable for both energetic strumming and softer fingerpicking styles. The special V-Class bracing inside improves volume, sustain (how long notes ring out), and intonation (how in-tune notes are), making chords and single notes sound precise. Equipped with Fishman Sonitone GT-2 electronics, this guitar easily switches from acoustic playing to amplified performance. Nice touches like a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard and chrome tuners complement its simple matte finish. Including a sturdy gig bag, the Taylor 24ce is an inspiring guitar built for musicians who need good tone and reliability.

Acoustic Electric Guitar With Solid Mahogany Top

The core sound of this acoustic guitar comes from its solid mahogany top, which delivers a distinctly warm and focused tone with strong midrange character. Mahogany wood naturally compresses the sound slightly, balancing the dynamics for an even response. This makes the guitar especially good for rhythm playing and fingerstyle, as notes blend smoothly. Paired with layered African sapele back and sides, the guitar has a strong yet responsive sound foundation that stays clear and rich. The mahogany top's ability to produce clear mids and controlled overtones results in a pleasing sound that works well for both studio recording and live playing.

Cantilevered V-Class Bracing For Enhanced Intonation

Inside this guitar, Taylor's innovative cantilevered V-Class bracing significantly improves its acoustic performance by increasing volume, sustain, and tonal purity. Unlike older bracing methods, the V-Class design increases stiffness in one direction and flexibility in another, allowing the top to vibrate more freely while staying strong. This results in better harmony between notes and accurate intonation all over the fretboard. Whether playing open chords or complex solos, the bracing ensures every note sounds clear and full. This design also expands the guitar's dynamic range, handling both quiet playing and loud projection effectively. V-Class bracing elevates the 24ce, making it perform like a professional instrument that encourages creativity.

Fishman Sonitone GT-2 Electronics For Natural Amplification

The Fishman Sonitone GT-2 pickup system allows for dependable and natural-sounding amplification of this acoustic-electric guitar. The preamp, mounted discreetly inside the soundhole, has simple tone and volume controls that are easy to reach while playing. The system accurately captures the guitar's natural acoustic voice, reproducing the warm midrange and balanced sound of the mahogany top. Whether plugged into a PA system or an acoustic amp, the Sonitone GT-2 provides clean, consistent sound without losing tonal detail. This user-friendly electronics setup makes the guitar a great choice for musicians moving from purely acoustic playing to amplified situations.

Durable Taylor Guitars Construction With Premium Appointments

The Taylor 24ce is built with durable materials and thoughtful design for long-lasting reliability and comfort. The layered African sapele back and sides provide structural strength, while the matte finish protects the solid mahogany top without dampening its sound. A heelless maple neck offers smooth playability, making it easy to reach higher frets for complex chords and solos. Quality details like a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard, chrome tuning machines, and a Copafera headstock overlay add to the guitar's visual appeal. Included with a structured Taylor gig bag, this model is built to handle travel while keeping its excellent sound quality and stylish look.
