The sonic magic of koa
For the K24ce's top, sides and back, Taylor uses a very special tropical hardwood sourced from Hawaiian plantations above 5,000 feet. Koa's sonic alchemy combines the focused midrange of mahogany with the snappy high end of maple. Sweetwater tip: Due to the wood's density, koa guitars tend to start out sounding a bit bright; it's similar to maple in this regard. But the more you play your koa guitar, the more the tone opens up, expanding the midrange and rewarding you with sweeter, richer, more resonant sonority. Often times, guitarists unfamiliar with the tonewood purchase a koa guitar for its stunning visuals, don't play it enough to allow the wood to warm up, and mistakenly conclude that it's too bright. Fine koa guitars like the Taylor K24ce deserve to be played every day! With that said, koa's inherent brightness is ideal for finger pickers with a meatier touch and for studio layering where you need an acoustic guitar that cuts through the track.$)766)7)67$$6656766hh
