224ce-K DLX - Koa Deluxe Shaded Edgeburst

Fans of Hawaiian koa will love the look, feel and sound of this all-koa Grand Auditorium. A shaded edgeburst elevates the vintage appeal of the solid koa top, which is paired with layered koa back and sides, while a gloss finish wraps the body in a rich sheen. The Grand Auditorium’s musical versatility makes this a great all-purpose guitar for both strumming and fingerpicking, and the hardwood koa top will even out a lively attack to produce a focused, linear voice. Player-friendly modern features include a cutaway and Taylor’s ES2 acoustic electronics. Among the distinctive appointments are a single-ring faux pearl rosette in an interlocking “fishbone” pattern, black binding, Italian acrylic small diamond inlays, and chrome tuners. The guitar ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.

The neck is nice and straight, fits comfortably in the hand and exhibits no discernible fretwear. Cosmetically, the finish does show some superficial imperfections at the front bass side upper bout and the back upper bout as can be seen in photos. As always, this guitar ships fully insured with signature required.
