Acoustic Players, Rejoice — The Taylors Have Landed
She's finally back..... the stunning Taylor 724ce Koa.
There are few things in life that cause such a collective intake of breath among acoustic players as the words: “New Taylor delivery just arrived.”
And friends, the delivery truck has blessed us.
From the compact Baby Taylors (BBT, BBTe, BT2) that make perfect travel or beginner guitars, right up through the 112ce, 210ce, and some jaw-dropping high-end models, our walls at Musicmaker Dublin are absolutely gleaming with fresh Taylor craftsmanship.
Whether you’re a strummer, a fingerpicker, or a songwriter chasing inspiration, this is your moment. Taylor’s signature clarity, balance, and modern playability are here in force — and we’re ready to plug you in, sit you down, and hand you one of these beautiful instruments to see what happens next.
Taylor’s Magic Touch
Taylor Guitars are known for their meticulous attention to detail — instruments that feel as effortless as they sound. Every curve, every fret, every finish is built with playability and sustainability in mind.
And that’s not marketing fluff — it’s a philosophy. Taylor’s responsible sourcing of tonewoods, their V-Class bracing system, and the consistency of their builds mean you always get something that sings like it’s been alive for decades, even when it’s brand new.
But among this massive new drop, three models in particular are already causing a stir at Musicmaker HQ — three unique beasts that show just how wide Taylor’s tonal palette really is.
It comes with a gorgeous hardcase? Of course. The, also gorgeous, Taylor BE 524ce.
Taylor Builder’s Edition 524ce – Mahogany / Urban Ash – Kona Burst
A true player’s guitar.
The Builder’s Edition 524ce is where Taylor’s boutique craftsmanship meets soulful tradition. With a tropical mahogany top paired with Urban Ash back and sides, this guitar radiates warmth and complexity — rich midrange, sweet overtones, and that unmistakable touch of vintage-style compression when you dig in.
Taylor’s Builder’s Edition contouring adds the deluxe touches: rolled fretboard edges, chamfered body edges, and a Silent Satin Kona Burst finish that feels like silk under your arm. The V-Class bracing ensures both sustain and clarity, letting every note breathe without losing intimacy.
Plugged in, the Expression System 2 captures that same woody warmth with gorgeous fidelity.
This is a guitar that doesn’t just respond — it listens.
- Perfect for: fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and anyone who loves a deep, focused tone that rewards touch and nuance.
Truest beauty. Pop in to check out the Builder's Edition 524ce in Musicmaker immediately.
Taylor Legacy 714ce – Western Red Cedar / Indian Rosewood
This one’s a tone chameleon — lush, dynamic, and open-hearted.
The Taylor 714ce from the new Legacy Series pairs Western Red Cedar with Indian Rosewood, a match made in acoustic heaven. Cedar offers instant responsiveness, even to the lightest touch, while rosewood adds shimmering highs and a strong, articulate bass.
The result? A guitar that feels alive in your hands, perfect for both gentle fingerpicking and expressive strumming.
Finished with Taylor’s elegant detailing — abalone rosette, subtle binding, Venetian cutaway — it’s a visual stunner, but the real beauty lies in its balance. The V-Class bracing gives it that crystalline Taylor projection without losing warmth.
- Perfect for: players who love tonal range — from whispered verses to bold, full-bodied choruses. The 714ce handles it all.
A sonic head turner. The Taylor Legacy 714ce - in-store now.
Taylor 724ce – Hawaiian Koa / Gloss Natural
And then there’s the 724ce — a piece of pure art.
Crafted from solid Hawaiian Koa (top, back, and sides), this Grand Auditorium model is visually breathtaking — all flame and shimmer — but it’s the tone that keeps players hooked.
Bright, focused, and with that unmistakable koa sweetness that matures beautifully over time, the 724ce evolves with you.
Straight out of the box, it offers crisp clarity and balance. As it ages, it opens up into a warmer, rounder voice that just keeps getting better.
It’s finished in Gloss Natural, letting that koa grain speak for itself, and features all of Taylor’s top-tier appointments — ES2 electronics, satin neck, and perfect fretwork.
- Perfect for: the discerning acoustic player who wants a lifetime instrument that looks as beautiful as it sounds — expressive, resonant, and endlessly inspiring.
A guitar, but also a friend for life. The mighty Taylor 724ce Koa.
