It is a laminate back and sides, ("layered" in Taylor terms), with a solid top.

Just got my Taylor Koa. I liked your honest review. I've never heard one like that for this guitar, but was happy to hear the straight truth about the guitar. I'm going from a Taylor 410 and I notice the difference in this 224, but the look and feel of it make up that difference for me. 👍 Thanks again for your honest review!

You didn't say whether it was solid wood or laminated that's very important in this price point. I just bought myself a Breedlove for 1, 150 solid mahogany back and sides with a red cedar top I named her Eleanor it means light✝️🌻🕊

I love your honest review... not trying to sell something. I have the 210e dlx sunburst and was thinking about buying one of these because of the beautiful top... but seeing your review and others I think I'll pass. Other reviews said this sounds muted compared to lets say the 214. I had a K22 at my house for a couple of months that was about $5k and all Koa... which also sounded muted...it must be the Koa wood that does that not sure...

I don’t think a sub $2, 000 guitar is good for being beat up and abused man just sayin. And definitely not for beginners. This review is just weird.

tone is so waht I plan in the future is to buy a yamaha with transacoustic PA, removed that PA and install to a Taylor.
