Taylor Guitars 724Ce Grand Auditorium Gloss

A 700 Series Reimagined Around Koa

The 724ce places Hawaiian koa at the heart of the 700 Series. Selected for their shimmering grain and responsiveness, these solid woods offer a crisp attack and bright trebles, while the ultra-thin matte finish allows the body to resonate freely. Indian rosewood binding, paua shell rosette, and "Fontaine" mother-of-pearl inlays mark a high-end guitar with a distinctive identity.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking an expressive and versatile electro-acoustic. The 724ce excels in pop/folk, modern fingerstyle, vocal accompaniment, and ensemble playing, while offering enough precision for recording and amplified performances thanks to the ES2 system.

Sound

The solid koa initially delivers a crisp clarity and sculpted trebles, while the low mids gain warmth over time. The Grand Auditorium body balances projection and definition, with tight bass and singing mids. The V-Class bracing optimizes the top for long sustain and more stable intonation across the entire neck. The result: a responsive, articulate, and inspiring guitar for both picking and strumming.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve and enhance your 724ce, opt for Light phosphor bronze strings .012-.053 (original gauge), a 6-string acoustic capo, a quality strap, and a case humidifier suitable for all-solid-wood guitars. The instrument comes with a Deluxe hardshell case.
