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

Hawaiian koa is beloved for its visual beauty and tonal richness. This special-edition model showcases Select-grade koa—distinguished by its variegated hues and natural striping—in a cutaway Grand Auditorium body. Featuring scalloped V-Class bracing and a long-tenon neck joint, it produces a lively, punchy voice with a pronounced midrange response, clear trebles and warm, resonant lows. Players will notice more depth and sweetness as the koa opens up through play over time. A slender Action Control Neck enables easy, on-the-fly string height adjustments, while providing the inviting feel expected from a Taylor. With Volume, Mid-Contour and Tone controls, onboard Claria System electronics help you unlock a versatile spectrum of amplified acoustic sounds for virtually any live performance setting. A refined suite of shell and wood appointments includes a mother-of-pearl peghead logo, paua GA-LTD inlays, a sycamore pickguard, Indian rosewood body binding, and a single-ring rosette featuring paua and Indian rosewood. A shaded edgeburst and gloss-body finish evoke a greater sense of visual depth from the koa’s stunning grain. 

• 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.
