Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The 24ce is a seriously well-made guitar – a great all-around performer. The solid top gives it a richer voice than many in its class, and the Fishman pickup system is surprisingly good for amplified gigs. This is perfect for singer-songwriters or players who want a balanced, comfortable instrument with a professional amplified tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's a simpler system than the Expression System 2, offering a more straightforward, natural amplified tone – less emphasis on body resonance, more on the core guitar sound.
The maple neck has a comfortable, medium profile that should suit most hand sizes, though it's not exceptionally thick or thin; a good middle ground.
While it won't match the complexity of a fully solid wood Taylor, the solid top and careful construction make it surprisingly close; the difference is more subtle than you might expect.
