Taylor K24ce AA Flame Koa Acoustic Electric Guitar - Shaded Edge Burst

Taylor K24ce Grand Auditorium

AA-Grade Figured Hawaiian Koa | A Masterpiece of Tone, Beauty & Craftsmanship

There are few tonewoods in the world that capture the imagination of musicians quite like Hawaiian koa.

Celebrated for its breathtaking beauty and evolving tonal character, koa possesses a remarkable ability to mature alongside the player, becoming richer, warmer, and increasingly expressive with every year of music it creates. The Taylor K24ce stands among the finest expressions of this extraordinary wood, and this particular guitar, featuring an exceptional AA-grade figured Hawaiian koa top, back, and sides, is a stunning example of why Taylor's koa instruments are admired by players and collectors around the world. 

The beautifully figured Hawaiian koa on this instrument displays deep ribbon flame with remarkable visual movement that shifts as light passes across the soundboard, making this K24ce as captivating to admire as it is to play."

Built around Taylor's renowned Grand Auditorium body, the K24ce delivers remarkable versatility. Fingerstyle passages reveal exceptional clarity and articulation, while a flatpick produces rich projection with focused fundamentals and shimmering harmonic overtones. As the koa continues to open with time, its voice develops additional warmth and complexity, rewarding years of dedicated playing with an increasingly rich and expressive tonal palette.

Every detail reflects Taylor's uncompromising commitment to craftsmanship. The carefully selected Hawaiian koa exhibits dramatic natural figure that makes each instrument visually unique, while elegant appointments complement the wood rather than compete with it. Inside, Taylor's innovative V-Class bracing enhances sustain, improves harmonic agreement, and produces exceptional intonation across the entire fingerboard, allowing every note to resonate with remarkable balance and clarity.

Factory-equipped with Taylor's acclaimed Expression System® 2 electronics, the K24ce faithfully reproduces the guitar's natural acoustic character for the studio, stage, or performance venue. Whether performing before an audience or recording with precision microphones, the instrument maintains the warmth, articulation, and dynamic response that define its acoustic voice.

What truly distinguishes this guitar is the exceptional quality of its koa. The beautifully figured AA-grade Hawaiian koa showcases nature's artistry through flowing grain, vibrant depth, and remarkable visual movement. No two koa trees are identical, making every premium K24ce an individual work of art as much as a world-class musical instrument.
