However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Love Hawaiian koa? It's stunning to look at, and just as stunning to listen to. The Taylor DLX K has a solid Hawaiian koa top for a focused, bright sound that gets better with age. And, the more you play this exquisite solid top, the more its tone opens up. Resulting in a sweeter, richer, and beautifully resonant tone. Laminated, layered koa makes up the back and sides of the 224ce. Balanced and defined by tone, and resilient to climate change. Laminated tonewoods are less likely to warp within different environments. Making it perfect for life on the road and much more.
A powerful sonic engine. The 224ce DLX K has scalloped, forward-shifted X-bracing made from sitka spruce. Bringing you added versatility whilst giving the Taylor DLX K a big, rich, and distinctive acoustic voice. A key part of the 224ce's sound comes from within, and with forward-shifted X-bracing the tonewoods vibrate naturally. This creates sonic depth and complexity with superior volume and projection. In addition, this specific type of brace makes your bass notes come alive with dominance. Experience a boomy, rich acoustic voice with that sought-after 'played-in' sonic-character.
The ultimate all-purpose electro acoustic. One of Taylor's most versatile designs. The grand auditorium delivers a full low-end, a focused, present mid-range, and sparkles in the trebles. Its unique and individual voice projects an impressive amount of balance across the tonal spectrum. Resulting in a clear, well-defined tone.
The Taylor's overall presence also fits beautifully into a live mix. Perfect for the promising singer/songwriter. This all-purpose electro acoustic is also incredibly comfortable to play thanks to its medium-sized body, and comfortable curves. To bring added comfort and plenty of fingerboard freedom, the 224ce features a Venetian cutaway. Its Venetian cutaway is a beautiful aesthetic feature and ensures you can reach the highest frets with ease.
Get professional quality with ES2 electronics. This special design features an innovative behind-the-saddle construction that picks-up the Taylor's natural dynamic properties, and delivers them beautifully. The Expression System 2 features three pickup sensors. The location of these sensors enable more acoustic dynamics to be captured. Resulting in an exceptional amplified tone and a superior response to each nuance of a player's individual style.
The Expression System 2 combined with Taylor's 'professional audio' preamp allows you to simply plug-in to an amplifier, PA system or directly into recording software. This system faithfully captures the 224ce's naturally stunning tone. Furthermore, the 224ce DLX also features three soft-touch rotary controls, allowing you to accurately shape your amplified tone with ease. In addition, you're able to adjust the bass, treble, and volume. You can easily experiment with the Taylor's amplified tone. It's time to find your true sound and persona with the Taylor DLX K and ES2 electronics.
Furthermore, these discreet controls are also easy to use and by rotating the controls back and forth. You will feel a small bump that indicates the middle position of the control, meaning the control is turned off, and the centre point on the volume control indicates half of the highest amount of volume.
