All koa for unrivaled beauty and singular tone.

The Taylor K24ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar is alluring to the eyes and ears with its Hawaiian koa back, sides, and top. This rare and exotic tonewood is prized for its stunning golden hues, bold grain figure, and sweet tone. The visual allure of the koa is complemented with shimmering abalone trim around the top and soundhole, while figured maple binds the body, fingerboard, soundhole, peghead, and heelcap. The K24ce acoustic electric guitar is performance-ready, with a Venetian cutaway and Taylor's Expression System electronics.

The grand auditorium is Taylor's most versatile and popular shape, excelling at both light-touch fingerstyle to full-blown strumming. Great for miking and recording, The grand auditorium's balanced mid-range and bright tone exemplify the Taylor voice. The Venetian cutaway of the K24ce offers maximum playability.

Designed to faithfully reproduce true acoustic guitar tone, the Expression System utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors to capture top and string vibration like never before. Created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer, Mr. Rupert Neve, the Taylor Expression System is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.

The finish used to create the lustrous gloss top, back, and sides of the K24ce guitar was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes.

This is a great guitar. There is nothing else to say. The tone is incredible. BUT... I have found that many taylors that are cheaper sound just as good (even if they dont' quite look as good) If you want to use this for recording, it is not the one. But, if you play live shows and want a beautiful guitar that will please the crowd look no further. This is an all around good guitar (which is a given considering that it is coming from taylor) hope this helped :)

Best acoustic ever

I usually don’t write reviews on instruments. This will be my first. Of the nine guitars in my collection, four of them are acoustic. This is by far the best. The ebony fretboard is smooth like piano keys. Right out of the box the setup was perfect. The action was factory set lower than any of my electrics with no fret buzz even when playing in drop D and tuned down a half step. The finish is flawless (when I say flawless I mean flawless as in going over the entire guitar inch by inch with a magnifying glass). These are all things I would expect from a 4000 dollar guitar. The thing that really sets this guitar apart is the tone. It’s rich, resonant and deep. I’ve never heard a guitar that sounds quite like it. It is very unique yet decadently pleasant. The koa itself is breathtaking. It looks good in the pics, but in person, it’s my opinion that it is the most beautiful wood that exists. Now for the expression system; before this guitar, I always miced my acoustics, even if it was an acoustic electric. Now I don’t have too. The expression system picks up every nuance of sound. When I plug it in, it’s as if it is miced through my AT4050. To sum it all up I love this guitar.
