Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Taylor 222ce-K DLX Electro Acoustic, Natural Gloss is a deluxe Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar that exemplifies a perfect fusion of aesthetic appeal and superior sound quality. It features a Hawaiian Koa back, sides, and top, which not only enhance its visual profile but also produce complex midrange tones, clear trebles, and a focused character that matures over time. The compact body shape, coupled with a narrower 1-11/16-inch nut width, offers a remarkably accommodating and relaxed feel, making it ideal for an array of playing styles from flatpicking and strumming to fingerstyle arrangements. Adding to its elegance are a full-body gloss finish and gold hardware.
This model comes equipped with the celebrated Expression System 2 electronics, ensuring a clear, balanced plugged-in tone. For ease of fretting, it features a tapered Venetian cutaway and a slim neck profile, topped with a neo-tropical Mahogany neck and a West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard. The package includes a Taylor Deluxe Hardshell case for secure storage and transportation. All materials used in its construction are responsibly sourced, reflecting Taylor's commitment to sustainability. With product registration, owners are provided with a lifetime warranty and access to expert factory service and support, thereby making the Taylor 222ce-K DLX a reliable and enduring musical companion.

The Grand Concert Body style, a signature feature of the Taylor 222ce-K DLX is a testament to the brand's commitment to delivering superior sound and playability. The smaller body and tapered waist ensure clarity and balance, providing an articulate sound that's perfect for recording and stage work. This design also mitigates excessive overtones, ensuring your performance is never overshadowed by unwanted noise. Comfort is paramount with this model.
The compact size fits comfortably whether you're seated or standing and the slightly wider neck accommodates intricate fingerings, making it an ideal choice for adventurous fingerstyle players. Furthermore, the shorter scale length of 24 7/8 inches makes fretting easier and provides a slinkier feel due to lighter string tension. Finally, the Grand Concert Body style, being the smallest of Taylor's full-size body shapes, offers a physically comfortable playing experience without compromising on sound quality. It's these careful considerations that make the Taylor 222ce-K DLX a preferred choice among professional session and side players.
The Taylor 222ce-K DLX is constructed with Hawaiian Koa, a dense tropical hardwood known for its unique balance of midrange focus and top-end brightness. Originating from Hawaii, Koa wood offers a distinct tonal profile that merges the midrange of mahogany with the top end of maple. Initially, a new Koa guitar may sound somewhat bright and tight, akin to maple, due to its density. However, the true beauty of this wood comes to light as it's played more frequently. As the Koa opens up, it expands the midrange, offering a richer, sweeter, and more resonant tone. This evolving tonal characteristic encourages players to engage with the instrument consistently, allowing the wood to reach its full potential.
The Taylor 222ce-K DLX is particularly well-suited to finger stylists who play more with the pads of their fingers and have a meatier touch. It also offers bright players the opportunity to experiment with different pick materials to achieve a warmer tone. Therefore, in addition to its stunning aesthetics, Hawaiian Koa brings a unique, evolving sound profile to the Taylor 222ce-K DLX, rewarding consistent play with an increasingly warm and resonant tone.
Get professional quality with ES2 electronics. This special design features an innovative behind-the-saddle construction that picks up the 222ce-K DLX's natural dynamic properties. And delivers them beautifully. This is thanks to the Expression System 2 which features three pickup sensors. The location of these sensors enables more acoustic dynamics to be captured - resulting in an exceptional amplified tone, and a superior response to each nuance of your individual style.
A breakthrough design. And it's here to make take your live performance to the next level. The Expression System 2 combined with Taylor's 'professional audio' preamp allows you to simply plug into an amplifier, PA system, or directly into recording software. This system faithfully captures the 222ce-K DLX's natural dynamics and sparkle. You can also tweak your tone by playing around with a trio of soft-touch rotary buttons. Making it easy to find your signature sound, and develop your true persona. High-fidelity in every way, this is professional quality in a more affordable Taylor package.
The Taylor 222ce-K DLX employs a Venetian cutaway, renowned for its soft, rounded lines that contribute to both the aesthetic and functional value of the guitar. This distinct curvature of the cutaway presents a varying slope that is influenced by the shape of the guitar body. This Venetian cutaway design doesn't merely add to the visual charm of the guitar; it significantly boosts playability by providing easier access to the upper frets, thereby enabling players to navigate a wider range of notes. Furthermore, the softer lines of the cutaway enhance the comfort factor, making the guitar a pleasure to hold and play.
