Description
The Taylor 24ce Grand Auditorium Sapele in Natural brings together Taylor's hallmark playability with a rootsy, midrange-focused sound at an accessible price. If you're stepping into your first serious acoustic or need a reliable stage-ready guitar without breaking the bank, this one is worth a close look. Its solid mahogany top emphasizes warmth and clarity in the mids, making it a natural fit for singer-songwriters, strummers, and players who want a more earthy tone.
The layered sapele back and sides balance things out with definition and projection, while Taylor's internal bracing design enhances sustain and helps the guitar ring out evenly across the fretboard. The onboard Fishman Sonitone GT2 system keeps things simple, with volume and tone controls mounted right inside the soundhole. It gives you a clear, straightforward amplified tone without extra fuss. Add in the Venetian cutaway and you've got full access to higher frets for solos or extended chord voicings.
Comfort is key here, and the slim maple neck with a satin finish makes the 24ce smooth and fast to play. At 1-11/16" nut width and a 25-1/2" scale, it's easy on the hands while still giving enough room for clean fretting. With a tortoise-style pickguard, dot inlays, and chrome tuners, the look is simple and classic. It also comes with a padded gig bag, so you're covered whether you're practicing at home or taking it out for a gig. We think it's a great first Taylor or a reliable workhorse for everyday use.
