The Taylor 424ce LTD Urban Ash at a glance

Taylor guitars in Limited edition always shine with selected tonewoods and unusual designs, offering guitarists and guitarists an exceptional, unique instrument of the highest quality.

The Limited Edition Grand Auditorium-style Western guitar has everything needed for a great stage performance

Design and wood create a great sound

Sound and construction

The fully solid body of the 424ce LTD Urban Ash produces a warm, voluminous sound, which is supported by the top, back and sides made of sustainable ash (Urban Ash ) and complemented by incisive trebles. In addition, the V-Class bracing ensures an even, two-dimensional vibration behaviour of the top wood, so that all notes spread quickly and clearly.

Outstandingly comfortable design for convenient handling

Playability

Due to its compact design and comfortable mahogany neck, the Grand Auditorium guitar is extremely comfortable to hold. Especially its 44.5 mm wide nut allows a comfortable grip, while the generous cutaway makes even the higher registers freely accessible. Taylor tuners made of nickel keep a robust tuning at the same time.

Taylor Expression System 2 for pristine sound

Electronics

With the help of the Taylor Expression System 2, this model also allows for amplified playing for great performances. This in-house pickup system features a control unit in the frame for individual adjustment of the output signal, while three pots ensure regulation of the bass and treble frequencies. The sound is thus reproduced unaltered and is thus especially recommended for guitarists and guitarists who prefer the natural sound of their guitar.

Attractive appearance for a perfect stage design

Design

The guitar is rounded off by a natural design with visual details. Its Natural high-gloss finish excellently brings out the grain of the wood and gives it an absolutely natural look. This is complemented and enhanced by visually appealing inlays as well as black bindings. The latter is an ideal complement to the black pickguard, which not only protects the wood when playing with plectrums but also offers another highlight.

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 jet-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.
