Many guitarists have become familiar with Hawaiian Koa over the past few decades as it has been an increasingly popular tone wood option. It stands out in a crowd and is easily recognizable due to it's unique look and sound. The Taylor 224ce-K does a great job of showcasing the performance and style that this sought-after, exotic wood can offer. The solid Koa top is paired with layered Koa back & sides and given a high gloss, shaded edgeburst finish to help accentuate the natural beauty of the wood.
The shape of the 224ce-K's body (Grand Auditorium) allows it to be very versatile musically, as it is well-suited for both strumming and fingerpicking. Additionally, the tonal properties of the Koa top will even out a lively attack to produce a focused, linear voice.
This guitar includes Taylor's ES2 acoustic pickup / preamp electronics system and a Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Case.
