I am offering a Taylor Builder’s Edition K24ce from 2022, a crafted in El Cajon, California (USA), top-of-the-line all-solid timber acoustic guitar model featuring a comfortable Grand Auditorium body shape with beveled armrest, rounded body edges and cutaway, extremely resonant figured Hawaiian koa top over V-Class bracing, back and sides made of spectacularly figured Hawaiian koa, neo-tropical mahogany neck with compound carve neck profile and 44.45mm black TUSQ nut, bound ebony fingerboard with elaborate Spring Vine abalone inlays, ebony bridge with Micarta saddle and ebony bridge pins, high-quality Taylor Gotoh 510 Antique Gold tuners and Taylor ES-2 pickup system in a beautiful Kona Burst Silent Satin finish with multi-ply real wood body bindings and Paua purfling in absolutely mint condition, including brown Taylor luxury hardshell case, manufacturer’s papers, and professional setup with 11-gauge Elixir strings.This Taylor Builder’s Edition K24ce V-Class, developed by Taylor Master Luthier Andy Powers, is among the absolute cream of the crop from the elite American acoustic guitar forge. A well-proportioned Grand Auditorium with rounded body edges, a beveled armrest, Silent Satin finish, and new specifications combine to create an entirely new Taylor sound with fantastic playability.The highly sought-after Hawaiian koa wood—featuring a wild flame grain on this particular instrument! —produces a versatile tone rich in harmonic texture and resonant overtones, while simultaneously lending the sound signature that extra warmth typical of koa. Combined with a visually refined finish and meticulous attention to detail, it is truly one of the most beautiful Taylor acoustic guitars on the market!A sound sample of the model can be found above at the end of the photo gallery. “Under the hood,” the V-Class Bracing ensures breathtaking projection and long-lasting sustain. The Builder’s Edition stamp also means that the K24ce is equipped with all the premium features an acoustic guitarist could only dream of: an intricately designed beveled koa armrest, gently rounded body edges, a new Compound Carve neck profile, subtly contoured fretboard edges, reliable Taylor Gotoh 510 Antique Gold tuners, and a multitude of extremely elaborate decorative inlays made from paua, abalone, and precious woods. In terms of feel, sound, and look, the Builder's Edition K24ce sets the bar for the Taylor playing experience at an exceptionally high level.Technical Specifications:Origin: El Cajon, CA, USAYear of manufacture: 2022Body style: Grand Auditorium with cutaway, beveled armrest, and rounded body edgesTop: Flamed Hawaiian koa (solid)Bracing: V-ClassBack / Sides: Figured Hawaiian koa (solid)Neck: Neotropical mahoganyNeck profile: Compound CarveFingerboard: West African ebony with Spring Vine abalone inlays, framed by koa bindingsNut: 44.45 mm, Black TUSQFrets: 20, PLEKedHeadstock: Mahogany with ebony veneer and abalone inlay, boundBridge: Curve-Wing Style ebony with Micarta bridge insert and ebony bridge pinsTuners: Taylor Gotoh 510 Antique GoldBody binding: Ebony with Paua purflingRosette: Single-ring ebony / koa / PauaColor: Kona Burst, Silent Satin finishScale length: 648mmSerial No.: 1212142008Includes brown Taylor luxury hardshell case, manufacturer’s papersThis Taylor K24ce Builder’s Edition is in absolutely mint condition and technically flawless.
