{"id":8243456475369,"title":"Taylor 124ce Walnut Special Edition Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Shaded Edge Burst","handle":"taylor-guitars-124ce-special-edition-grand-auditorium-acoustic-electric-guitar-in-walnut","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Taylor Special-Edition 124ce Walnut features a beautiful matte finish, along with a solid walnut top and layered walnut back and sides. Walnut is sonically similar to mahogany and produces a clear, woody voice with a splash of top-end sparkle and a bit more tonal support in the lower register. This instrument comes complete with Taylor's ES-2 Expression System for an easy plug-in-and-play solution to faithfully reproduce the sound of the guitar. A Taylor original, the Grand Auditorium helped establish the Taylor acoustic sound. The popular body style makes for a versatile guitar that yields ample volume in response to light fingerpicking, and reacts to medium strumming and flatpicking with a clear, balanced sound across the tonal spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaylor's ES2 is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in Taylor’s ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. Because the pickup doesn't sit under the saddle, the bottom of the saddle comes in full contact with the bridge, allowing all the nuance of the guitar's tone to come through clearly whether playing acoustically or plugged-in. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before while playing plugged-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether with Taylor’s custom-designed “professional audio”-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier, or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar. The Taylor Expression System 2 operates through a proprietary 9-volt battery compartment and easy-to-use volume, and active bass and treble controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp

Taylor 124ce Walnut Special Edition Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Shaded Edge Burst

Product Description

The Taylor Special-Edition 124ce Walnut features a beautiful matte finish, along with a solid walnut top and layered walnut back and sides. Walnut is sonically similar to mahogany and produces a clear, woody voice with a splash of top-end sparkle and a bit more tonal support in the lower register. This instrument comes complete with Taylor's ES-2 Expression System for an easy plug-in-and-play solution to faithfully reproduce the sound of the guitar. A Taylor original, the Grand Auditorium helped establish the Taylor acoustic sound. The popular body style makes for a versatile guitar that yields ample volume in response to light fingerpicking, and reacts to medium strumming and flatpicking with a clear, balanced sound across the tonal spectrum.

Taylor's ES2 is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in Taylor’s ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. Because the pickup doesn't sit under the saddle, the bottom of the saddle comes in full contact with the bridge, allowing all the nuance of the guitar's tone to come through clearly whether playing acoustically or plugged-in. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before while playing plugged-in.

Together with Taylor’s custom-designed “professional audio”-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier, or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar. The Taylor Expression System 2 operates through a proprietary 9-volt battery compartment and easy-to-use volume, and active bass and treble controls.
