Full Description
View Full DescriptionA truly grand build
Delve into the glistening textures and rich harmonies of a Hawaiian koa body. Its tone is located between that of maple and rosewood, meaning you'll have a gorgeous blend of warm resonance and shimmering brightness. Let every note shine with crisp definition. The beauty of koa is that it grows more beautiful with age, so you can cherish its organic Hawaiian nature for years to come. Brightness, resonance, clarity, you name it, koa just keeps on giving.
The grand auditorium body is known for its versatility and brilliant sound projection. With full, rounded lows, pronounced mids, and sparkling highs, you'll have a gorgeous tonal response across the whole frequency range. Better still, the stunning Venetian cutaway makes this guitar dreamy to play. Fingerpick and strum effortlessly as you are granted an exceptionally comfortable playing experience, even when reaching those upper frets.
A neck and fretboard with lifelong quality
Lose yourself in sumptuously smooth fretting and silky sound. The Taylor K24ce features a marvellous tropical mahogany neck and an exquisite ebony fretboard, allowing you a dreamy playing experience that will never tire. Mahogany exudes resonance, richness, and wondrous balance thanks to an emphasis on midrange frequencies. But its robust and durable properties are what make it perfect for this scrupulously crafted neck. Engulf your audience in waves of clear, warm sound whilst mahogany's long-lasting stability ensures you can relish such a tone for years to come. And if that isn't enough, mahogany's sonic capabilities grow more focused as the wood matures, meaning you'll have endless glistening sound. A satin finish then promises flawless playability.
The West African Crelicam ebony fretboard attached on top further enhances your playing experience thanks to its naturally high oil content which gives it a lusciously smooth finish. What makes the ebony used on Taylor guitars completely unique is the process of sustainable and socially responsible sourcing that has led to it being in your possession, made possible by Taylor's Ebony Project which takes place in Cameroon. Ebony is an extremely responsive tonewood that offers a beautifully bright sound, making it a gorgeous accompaniment to spruce, rosewood, and mahogany. Project your music with purpose and brilliant volume, ebony's snappy and crisp attack ensures that every single note cuts through the mix astonishingly well, leaving nothing unheard.
Amplify your sound
One of the most compelling features of this guitar is the Expression System 2 that is mounted discreetly. Featuring three pickup sensors, this electronic system captures more acoustic dynamics than ever before. Combined with Taylor's 'professional audio' preamp, this guitar allows you to plug into an amp, PA system, or recording software whilst always experiencing glorious acoustic tonal properties. Sculpt your tone with three soft rotary controls and achieve a sound that is well and truly distinctive.
Renowned craftsmanship
Beauty flows right from the heart of this guitar and reaches every last detail. The V-class bracing offers incredible support that can withstand string tension and keep your guitar robust and stable, so you can strum with passion and ferocity without anything holding you back. From the big leaf maple rosette to the pale non-figured maple binding, from the sublime gloss finish to the spring vine inlay, meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail has gone into even the smallest components of this guitar. It offers a premium aesthetic and has a superior tone to match. And to keep such a magnificent instrument protected when you're travelling from A to B, a deluxe hardshell case is included. You won't ever want to be without the Taylor K24ce, and you can take it on the road knowing it won't suffer any knocks or scrapes.
