Next Gen K24ce Special Edition

The Taylor Next Gen K24ce Special Edition
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.

A Voice That Opens Up Over Time
Players will notice more depth and sweetness as the koa opens up through play over time — a koa top's visual beauty is instantly inspiring, while its sonic rewards unfold gradually, as warm, sweet overtones emerge the more this guitar gets played. Few woods carry the allure of Hawaiian koa, with its gorgeous figure and sweet, complex tone, and this Select-grade koa showcases that character at its best.
Easy-Playing Comfort, Built In
A slender Action Control Neck enables easy, on-the-fly string height adjustments, while providing the inviting feel expected from a Taylor. Building on Taylor's legacy of easy-playing necks, the Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon joint for added warmth and depth with a patented system for effortless adjustment — no trip to a tech required to dial in your ideal action. The Grand Auditorium body shape offers comfort and cross-genre utility, with a clear, balanced tone suited for both fingerstyle and strumming, while the Venetian cutaway's soft, round lines open up easy access to the upper frets.
Versatile Amplified Tone, Refined Appointments
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 reimagined piezo pickup designed for reliability and ease of use. 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.
Why We Love This
Our Gear Experts reach for the K24ce Special Edition because it's a guitar that keeps rewarding them the longer they play it — koa is famous for opening up over time, and this Select-grade example is built to show that off. The Action Control Neck's on-the-fly adjustability means players can dial in their ideal feel without a shop visit, while the Claria System electronics make it just as capable plugged in as it is acoustically.
