Taylor Builder's Edition K24ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Kona Burst

This Grand Auditorium K24ce Builder's Edition was built with all-solid Hawaiian koa with V-Class bracing under the hood. Sonically, it bears the hallmarks of koa's unique tone, with high-end clarity balanced against the volume and sustain improvements delivered by the new bracing scheme. Koa's inimitable aging properties also make this guitar a special find, opening and adding depth and sweetness as the guitar is played over time. Designed to optimize the player's experience with a handful of ergonomic features, this model includes a double-contoured cutaway for easy playing all the way down to the highest frets, along with a smooth armrest that takes the pressure off the player's strumming arm. The Silent Satin finish treatment adds a subtle visual touch while removing much of the incidental noise that comes from the player's arm movement, making this an ideal choice for session or studio players looking to lay down tracks.

Comes in a hardshell case.

• Grand Auditorium Shape - Taylor's signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.
• Hawaiian KoaTop Wood - A koa top's visual beauty is instantly inspiring, while its sonic rewards unfold over time, as warm, sweet overtones gradually emerge.
• Hawaiian Koa Body Wood - Few woods carry the allure of Hawaiian koa, with its gorgeous figure and sweet, complex tone.
• The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar's dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
• Beveled Cutaway - A smooth, double-contoured cutaway provides easy access to even the highest frets without changing hand positions.
• V-Class Bracing - A revolutionary design that balances the flexibility and stability of the top, V-Class bracing produces unmatched sustain, volume, and intonation.
