Taylor Next Generation K24ce Hawaiian Koa Electro Acoustic Guitar in Shaded Edgeburst

Guitarists love Hawaiian koa for its blend of warmth, clarity and beautiful aesthetics. The Next Generation K24ce features an all-solid-wood Grand Auditorium body crafted from figured Hawaiian koa, admired for its complex, visually striking grain patterns. The tropical wood asserts a lively, punchy voice that gains sweetness and depth with time and play. Scalloped V-Class bracing complements a strong midrange response and clear trebles with warmer lows and richer open-string resonance. The modified voicing architecture preserves the projection, sustain and pitch accuracy of our original V-Class bracing pattern. Thanks to an Action Control Neck, players can raise or lower string height in seconds to dial in their favoured handfeel. Onboard Claria System electronics make it easy for you to shape your desired amplified tone for any live performance setting. With graceful Spring Vine inlays headlining a suite of stunning wood-forward appointments that reflect koa's island heritage, the Next Generation K24ce is a stage-ready option that will keep you inspired for years to come. 

• Long-Tenon Action Control Neck -The long-tenon neck joint improves the neck-to-body connection, adding warmth and depth to the guitar’s voice. At the same time, the Action Control feature makes adjusting string height quicker and more precise than ever — no need to remove strings or the neck. Players can dial in their preferred setup in seconds and adapt on the fly to changing styles or shifting climate conditions. It’s the ultimate fusion of tone, stability and setup convenience.
• Scalloped V-Class Bracing - The latest evolution of Taylor’s V-Class bracing introduces a scalloped profile that unlocks a warmer low end and richer open-string resonance, while preserving the balance, pitch accuracy and projection that define V-Class. The guitars are now seasoned with a touch of low-end depth that adds more fullness to the voice.
• Claria System Acoustic Electronics - Developed with extensive input from touring artists and live sound engineers, Taylor’s new Claria System reimagines the under-saddle piezo pickup to deliver consistent plug-and-play acoustic tone in any setting. A proprietary preamp tames the harshness of traditional piezos and incorporates soundhole-mounted controls: Volume, Tone and a versatile Mid-Contour knob. The result is a consistent, stage-ready tone that’s easy to shape for any setting — from solo café gigs to large-venue performances.
