Taylor Next Generation Builder's Edition K24ce Koa Acoustic Electric Guitar - Shaded Edgeburst - #1204096080

Timeless Koa Look and Sound, Ultramodern Performance - The Taylor Next Generation Builder's Edition K24ce Koa Acoustic Electric Guitar in Shaded Edgeburst

Crafted to deliver the ultimate playing experience, the Next Generation Builder's Edition K24ce blends premium tonewoods and innovative design features that enhance tone, feel and performance. Solid figured Hawaiian koa forms the back, sides and top of this gorgeous Grand Auditorium, yielding a bold, articulate midrange and splashy, refined trebles. Scalloped V-Class interior bracing ensures warmer lows and louder projection, while maintaining the sustain and pitch accuracy of our foundational V-Class design. Koa is also famous for its aging properties and will open up with play over time to reveal greater depth and sweetness. Comfort-enhancing features include an armrest, beveled cutaway, and chamfered body and fretboard edges. An array of paua details—including a single-ring rosette, Spring Vine inlays and body trim—are enriched by a gloss-body finish and hand-sprayed Kona Burst. With Volume, Mid-Contour and Tone controls, the onboard Claria pickup system makes it easier for players to shape their amplified sound for a wide variety of live performance settings.
