Taylor C24CE-B3026 Grand Auditorium AA Hawaiian Koa Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Natural

Experience the magic of an all-koa guitar with this custom-crafted Taylor Grand Auditorium. With its top, back, and sides all made from AA-grade figured Hawaiian Koa, this instrument delivers a unique voice that is clear and articulate. Koa is a tonewood that gets sweeter and more resonant the more you play it, meaning this guitar will develop a richer, warmer tone and deeper bass response over time. Out of the box, you'll hear a balanced midrange and a sparkling top end, a combination that responds beautifully whether you are fingerpicking or strumming with authority.

This custom model is a feast for the eyes as well, showcasing the mesmerizing tiger-strip flames and luscious golden palette of the Koa. The Grand Auditorium body shape, Taylor's signature design, offers a versatile, all-purpose tone that has the projection of a dreadnought in a more comfortable, medium size. It's the preferred shape for many players, including renowned musicians like Jason Mraz and Taylor Swift, who have performed with Koa Taylors. Inside, Taylor's V-Class bracing boosts volume and sustain, ensuring every note rings with exceptional clarity and purer notes across the entire fretboard. Plug in using the onboard Expression System 2 electronics to capture the guitar's dynamic, natural acoustic tone.
