Limited-edition acoustic with solid walnut top and body.
Taylor Guitars has built a reputation for great sound, superb playability, advanced acoustic-electric designs and a commitment to exploring sustainability in guitar building. The Taylor 724ce LTD, available in extremely limited numbers, is a great example of Taylor’s amazing collection of gorgeous tonewoods. Featuring stunningly beautiful solid walnut back, sides and top, the tone is lively and balanced. The appointments are exquisite—mother-of-pearl Arrowhead inlays, a Pau rosette with a bound soundhole and grained ivoroid binding inlaid with wood fibers. Let’s dig a little deeper into this very special guitar.

Wood Drives the Tone
Walnut is an under-appreciated tonewood for acoustic guitars. Combining a brightness and transparency similar to maple with some of the dry warmth of mahogany, walnut helps single note lines cut, while keeping strummed “cowboy chords” big and vibrant. This 724ce LTD uses walnut that Taylor designer Andy Powers has called, “some of the most amazing walnut wood I have ever worked with.” The end result is added touch sensitivity, expanded expression and the richly developed tone of a well-broken-in instrument.

The Grand Auditorium body shape, developed by Taylor, has been an integral part of the “Taylor sound” and has become a player favorite due to its versatility. Whether you’re a fingerstyle player, strummer or hybrid stylist, the 724ce LTD responds with clear, balanced tone across the entire spectrum, making it an excellent all-purpose acoustic-electric.

Innovation Moves the Air
Taylor’s V-Class bracing has been a game changer in acoustic guitar design. Taking the next step beyond traditional X bracing, it literally creates a new platform for acoustic guitars. By increasing the flexibility of the top without compromising strength, it allows for both greater volume and sustain while taming aspects of random top vibration that could cancel out some frequencies and cause others to sound a little out of tune. Added benefits are increased ease of tuning and a more balanced response, both up and down, as well as across the entire fingerboard.

Dynamic, Plugged or Unplugged
The Taylor 724ce LTD features Taylor’s Expression System 2 (ES2) pickup and preamp for full dynamic range, whether you’re playing in your living room or onstage. By developing a three-part pickup system that mounts behind the saddle, rather than under it, Taylor enables the saddle to have full, direct contact with the bridge, for a complete transfer of string vibrations to the sensitive V-Class braced top. Combine this with the custom-designed preamp, and the end result is a faithful reproduction of your guitar’s voice when recording direct or playing through an acoustic guitar amp.

Taylor Guitars has always stood for unmatched build quality, incredibly stable, amazingly playable necks and versatile tone. These extremely limited editions drive home those qualities in a very special way.
