Taylor K24ce Special Edition, Next Generation Koa Top, Shaded Edgeburst
A limited edition model to the Next Generation lineup, this K24ce features upgraded Koa top back and sides. The updated neck joint, Claria System electronics and scalloped V-Class bracing make for a deluxe sounding example.
From Taylor: "Hawaiian koa is beloved for its visual beauty and tonal richness. This special-edition model showcases Select-grade koa—distinguished by its variegated hues and natural striping—in a cutaway Grand Auditorium body. Featuring scalloped V-Class bracing and a long-tenon neck joint, it produces a lively, punchy voice with a pronounced midrange response, clear trebles and warm, resonant lows. Players will notice more depth and sweetness as the koa opens up through play over time. A slender Action Control Neck enables easy, on-the-fly string height adjustments, while providing the inviting feel expected from a Taylor. With Volume, Mid-Contour and Tone controls, onboard Claria System electronics help you unlock a versatile spectrum of amplified acoustic sounds for virtually any live performance setting. A refined suite of shell and wood appointments includes a mother-of-pearl peghead logo, paua GA-LTD inlays, a sycamore pickguard, Indian rosewood body binding, and a single-ring rosette featuring paua and Indian rosewood. A shaded edgeburst and gloss-body finish evoke a greater sense of visual depth from the koa’s stunning grain."
