Grand Auditorium versatility meets solid-top walnut construction in the Taylor 124ce limited-edition Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar. Part of Taylor's Fall Walnut collection, it pairs a solid walnut top and layered walnut back and sides with C-Class bracing, a cutaway body and a smoked eucalyptus fingerboard. Taylor Expression System 2 electronics capture the guitar's acoustic response with behind-the-saddle sensors and onboard tone shaping for amplified performance. Limited to 350 worldwide, the 124ce suits guitarists who move between fingerpicking, full-chord accompaniment and amplified performances.
Solid Walnut Top and C-Class Grand Auditorium Bracing
The cutaway Grand Auditorium pairs a solid walnut soundboard with layered walnut back and sides, bringing the Fall Walnut collection to a versatile full-size acoustic body. Taylor's C-Class bracing is designed to enhance low-end response and sustain, while the Grand Auditorium body supports both fingerstyle detail and full-chord strumming. A matte finish and shaded-edgeburst top complete the understated appearance of this LTD.
Expression System 2 With Behind-the-Saddle Sensors
Taylor's Expression System 2 uses three individually calibrated behind-the-saddle sensors rather than a conventional under-saddle pickup, allowing the saddle to maintain full contact with the bridge. The system captures the guitar's acoustic response for amplification, with a professional-grade preamp offering volume, active bass and treble controls. An onboard phase switch helps manage feedback, giving performers useful tone-shaping options through an acoustic amplifier, PA or recording setup.
Cutaway Access and Smoked Eucalyptus Fingerboard
The Grand Auditorium cutaway helps the fretting hand reach higher positions, while the 25-1/2" scale and 1-11/16" nut width establish the playing dimensions. A smoked eucalyptus fingerboard and Taylor Standard neck profile create a familiar fretting surface with a distinctive material choice. The matte neck finish complements the guitar’s restrained presentation.
Smoked Eucalyptus Appointments and Travel-Ready Bag
Smoked eucalyptus appears on the fingerboard, bridge and headstock overlay, tying the instrument’s appointments together. Black binding and pickguard contrast with the white three-ring rosette and Italian acrylic faux-pearl dot inlays, while die-cast chrome tuners provide dependable adjustment. A Taylor soft gig bag is included for storage and travel.
A Limited Grand Auditorium for Versatile Players
The 124ce balances a solid walnut top, a cutaway Grand Auditorium body and Expression System 2 electronics in an adaptable acoustic-electric guitar. Smoked eucalyptus appointments and a 350-piece worldwide run set this edition apart, while the included soft gig bag makes transport straightforward. Choose the Taylor 124ce limited-edition Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar for songwriting, rehearsal and amplified sets that call for one versatile instrument.
