Taylor Koa Series Guitars
Taylor Koa Series Guitars: A Showcase for Organic Beauty
Hawaiian koa has long impressed guitar players with its distinctive combination of lush acoustic tone and naturally stunning visual character. In the Koa Series, Taylor treats Hawaiian koa like the superstar tonewood it is, with a range of guitars that showcase both its natural coloration and its dazzling sonic properties. Players will hear a vibrant midrange response with clear, articulate trebles and a dash of low-end warmth for a balanced sound that can adapt across playing styles. Choose from models with spruce or koa tops, all of which feature Taylor's tone-boosting V-Class bracing and a gorgeous, artful set of wood-focused appointments that reflect koa's island origins.
FEATURES
Exceptional Tone in a Colorful Package
Along with the visual and sonic beauty of Hawaiian koa, guitars from the Koa Series boast elegant appointments and design touches that deliver an exceptional playing experience.
All-Hawaiian-koa, or Koa + Spruce? You decide.
The koa/spruce pairing serves up some additional projection and articulation with koa's warmth and sparkle, while models with koa back, sides and top offer some natural compression to balance an aggressive attack.
Comfort Refinements Enhance Tonal Richness
Between ultra-thin full-body gloss finishes that preserve resonance, the V-Class bracing scheme (for full-size models) that adds volume and sustain, and the accommodating Taylor Neck design, the Koa Series showcases Taylor's innovative spirit.
Expression System 2 Acoustic Pickup
Taylor's proprietary Expression System 2 is an under-saddle acoustic pickup that faithfully translates the complex tone of Taylor's Koa Series guitars into clear, authentic-sounding amplified tone.
Organic Appointments Showcase Koa's Heritage
The Koa Series sports nature-inspired designs that highlight koa's organic character. Key visual touches include Spring Vine inlays in maple, maple binding, and shaded edgeburst color treatments for koa-topped models.
A Range of Enticing Koa Flavors
Innovations such as the scaled-down body of the K21e and the tone-dispersing soundport cutaway of the K26ce expand the Koa Series' range of flavors. Fingerstyle players will also appreciate the comfort and midrange heft of the K22ce 12-Fret.
Hardshell Case Included with Every Guitar
All Koa Series guitars ship with a deluxe hardshell guitar case for protection from impact damage and climate-related changes.
