Taylor K24CE Electro Acoustic Guitar - Koa Series
WE ARE BRINGING THE FREE BABY TAYLOR OFFER BACK!!
ONLY ON SELECTED MODELS - WHILE STOCKS LAST
The Taylor K Series
Featuring high grade solid Hawaiian Koa Top and stunning Hawaiian Koa back and sides, this is an exquisite high end Taylor guitar that dreams are made of.
Taylor K24CE
The sleek lines of its Grand Auditorium body are accentuated by a softly-rounded Venetian cutaway, complementing the K24ce's shimmering appointments. The Koa top, backs and Sides not only provide rich visual appeal, but offers the player a partnership which will last for a lifetime as the Koa wood loosens up over time, unleashing more and more mid range to go with it's inherent top end sparkle.
Great for finger and generic strumming styles. Hard playing will reveal lots of top end brightness which will mellow and balance out over time.

Hawaiian Koa Back and Sides
Hawaiian koa grows only between the 300- and 7,000-foot elevations on Hawaii's five major islands (the finest instrument-quality koa trees grow on the Big Island). Like a precious metal, koa's desirability is linked to its relative scarcity, but its aesthetic appeal makes it irresistible to lovers of exotic tonewoods. Koa exhibits a wide range of warm brown hues, often accentuated by exciting grain figure. A hard, dense wood, koa produces a tone somewhere between that of maple and rosewood.
Hawaiian Koa Spruce Top
A tropical hardwood, koa’s tone blends the midrange of mahogany with the top end of maple. Due to its density, a new koa guitar tends to start out sounding a little bright and tight, somewhat like maple. But the more a koa guitar is played, the more the sound opens up, expanding the midrange and rewarding the player with a richer, sweeter, more resonant tone. A common mistake is when a bright player buys a koa guitar in part for its visual beauty, finds it to be too bright, and doesn’t play it enough to allow the wood to warm up.
Taylor Expression System
The Expression System incorporates three different magnetic sensors. Two strategically placed Dynamic Body Sensors™ affixed to the underside of the soundboard capture the complex nuances of the top's vibration, while a Dynamic String Sensor™ mounted beneath the fretboard extension registers string and neck vibration.
The preamp, developed with collaborative input from pro audio pioneer Mr. Rupert Neve, boosts the pickup signal cleanly, without the need for artificial EQ "coloration". The balanced, low-impedance signal the Expression System produces can run direct into a mixer or PA in most situations, and is free of distortion at almost any volume.
Three simple, unintrusive onboard control knobs preserve the aesthetic beauty of your Taylor, yet allow you to easily adjust the volume, bass, and treble to suit your personal preferences and performance environment. When set flat, the tone controls add no color and produce the most natural sound. Or, add bass or treble (or subtract) to adjust for the room or personal tastes.
The payoff is in the purity of high-fidelity amplified tone, unprecedented dynamic range, and extraordinary resistance to feedback and distortion. It enables all of the expressive subtleties of your playing to come through, just the way you intended.
The Expression System is available exclusively on Taylor guitars in 300 Series and above.
