Product Description

Warmth, Punch, and Playability—Ready for Anything

Meet the Taylor 24ce, a guitar that hits the sweet spot between comfort, tone, and value. Built on Taylor’s legendary Grand Auditorium body shape, this axe is a true jack-of-all-trades. It’s got the midrange focus for delicate fingerstyle passages but opens up with surprising volume and warmth when you dig in with a pick. The Neo-Tropical Mahogany top ensures a woody, focused tone that’s incredibly responsive to your attack—it’s a sound that records beautifully and sits perfectly in a mix.

The Engine Inside: C-Class Bracing

Don’t let the comfortable body size fool you; this guitar has a seriously impressive low-end presence. The secret is Taylor’s C-Class bracing, an innovative, asymmetrical design that coaxes a powerful bass response and rich sustain from the mahogany and sapele body. It’s a design that helps this guitar punch way above its weight class, delivering a sound that’s both sweet and authoritative.

Stage-Ready Electronics

The Taylor 24ce comes equipped with the Fishman Sonitone GT2 pickup system, a no-fuss electronics package that delivers a clear and natural amplified tone. The soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls are intuitive and easy to adjust on the fly, keeping the guitar’s aesthetic clean while giving you all the control you need. Whether you’re plugging into a PA for a gig or an interface for a recording session, the Sonitone GT2 faithfully translates the guitar’s organic acoustic voice.

Effortless Playability

From the first chord, you’ll feel right at home. The Standard Carve maple neck is smooth and comfortable, with a 1-11/16″ nut width that’s perfect for both chordal work and single-note runs. Combined with the slick West African Crelicam Ebony fingerboard and the easy upper-fret access of the Venetian cutaway, this is a guitar built for long, comfortable playing sessions.

Playing Feel

  • The matte-finished Standard Carve neck is smooth and fast, never sticky.
  • The 15" fingerboard radius is a comfortable "happy medium" for a wide variety of styles.
  • Effortless playability that invites long sessions without fatigue.

Versatility

  • Excels at both delicate fingerpicking and dynamic strumming.
  • The Fishman electronics provide a great, natural-sounding platform for effects pedals.
  • Its focused midrange is perfect for recording, sitting easily in a dense mix.
  • A true workhorse guitar for the coffee shop, the stage, or the studio.

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Think of it as a way to get a bigger sound out of a comfortable body. The C-Class bracing is an internal architecture that really enhances the bass frequencies, giving this Grand Auditorium a surprisingly deep and powerful voice with tons of sustain.
Absolutely. It’s a fantastic choice for a beginner, but it’s also a serious instrument for an experienced player. The playability is top-notch, the tone is inspiring, and the built-in electronics mean it’s ready for your first open mic night whenever you are.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
