The Taylor 722ce at a glance

Thanks to a construction made of the finest Hawaiian koa, the Taylor 722ce produces a powerful yet warm sound. This is aided by the typical V-Class bracing, the new type of back bracing and, last but not least, the wafer-thin matte finish. In addition, the Grand Concert Western guitar impresses with the unmistakably comfortable playability that is well-known from instruments made by Taylor. The generous cutaway guarantees a powerful yet warm sound. The generous cutaway guarantees optimized access to the highest of the 20 frets. The characteristic headstock is equipped with in-house tuners, which allow easy tuning of the 6 steel strings. Naturally, the Taylor Expression System 2 belongs to the equipment, which transmits the acoustic sound unaltered and directly to the amplifier. Visually, the guitar is rounded off by filigree inlays of mother-of-pearl and wooden Bindings, which elegantly underscore the individual grain of each component of the body. The scope of delivery includes a sturdy deluxe hardshell case.

Finest Hawaiian koa paired with rosewood wood inlays and a maple pickguard

Construction and woods

The compact koa body produces an enormously transparent and rich sound with warm midrange frequencies even when the strings are lightly struck, making the guitar excellent for fine Pickings and light strumming. Attached to the rough-grained top is a pickguard made of dyed maple, which has a strikingly flamed grain. The mahogany neck is equipped with an ebony fingerboard in which 20 frets are set. The string ends are attached in a bridge made of ebony with corresponding Bridge-Pins.

Hardware and design

To ensure that the guitar can unfold every note cleanly, the 44.5mm wide nut is made of Black-Graphite and the compensated saddle is made of Micarta. At the same time, the die-cast tuners promise precise tuning of the instrument while enriching the appearance with their classy Polished Bronze hardware. A large Inlay is incorporated into the Headplate, which is excellently matched to the delicate mother-of-pearl Fountain fingerboard inlays. The individual components of the body are aesthetically separated from each other by bindings made of rosewood.

Taylor - The epitome of fine quality

As one of the largest guitar manufacturers, Taylor is truly an authority in the production of first-class instruments. Thus, professional manufacturing by skilled craftsmen results in the very finest products for life, whose value is always maintained - or even increased! This is due in equal part to exquisite tonewoods, which do not warp due to long storage and selected quality and as a result, can hardly be surpassed in terms of high quality. Only spruce, mahogany, cedar or Koa of proven quality are used for the tops. By the way, careful production in combination with the best materials does not only apply to guitars. Guitar bags and all accessories are also of first-class quality. Finally, a conscientious final inspection does not let even the smallest defects pass and ensures absolutely flawless guitars even before shipment.

And that's not all: Taylor also attaches great importance to environmentally conscious actions.

Ebony & Koa: Sustainability at Taylor Guitars

Uncontrolled clearing of forests and overexploitation lead to massively endangered wood species, which can no longer regenerate due to the high pace of mining. These include ebony and koa in particular, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at Taylor Guitars.

Sustainable ebony cultivation in Cameroon

Because ebony's hard, supple texture makes it particularly finger-friendly, it has long been the preferred choice for making fingerboards. Its attractive appearance is also extremely popular for bridges, headstock rests, bridge Pins and Bindings. However, high demand and a thriving black market outstripped stocks, landing Ebony on the Red List of Endangered Species in 1994. Moreover, only the deep black heartwood, which makes up only a fraction of the tree, was used, resulting in a disproportionately large amount of waste in production. In order to protect the forests, Taylor has thus been working since 2011 with the Crelicam Wood Mill in Yaoundé in Cameroon to promote controlled consumption by processing waste products.

"We need to use the ebony that the forest gives us" - Bob Taylor

Siglo Tonewoods Project

Koa acacia populations have also suffered severe losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry as well as overexploitation led to a decline that can only be stopped by proactive action and reforestation. Therefore, Taylor Guitars together with Pacific Rim Tonewoods founded the Siglo Tonewoods project, which aims to rebuild the Hawaiian virgin forest. This is a large cultivation area for koa acacia and other species, which allows the use of koa wood on a controlled scale.
