Builder's Edition K24ce

Now for something special:  here is a stunningly beautiful Taylor Builder's Edition K24ce, but it's not the normal stock model.  This is a special version, using AA Flame Koa.  It was made for a Taylor event here at Truetone, where it was sold - and now it's back, available on the market for the first time.

The Builder's Edition K24ce delivers as both a player's workhorse and a spotlight-grabbing showpiece. Taylor Guitars were already the most comfortable and playable guitars on the market, and adding the beveled armrest, beveled body edge treatment and a reshaped cutaway set apart this Builder's Edition K24ce even further from the pack.

Made with back, sides and top of solid AA grade Hawaiian koa, this Grand Auditorium's comfortable contours and soft edges will inspire you to play and improve regardless of your skill level or style. V-Class bracing charges up this guitar's tonal response with more projection and sustain, while the Silent Satin finish in Kona Burst delivers both a clean sound and stylish looks.

Spring Vine inlay patterns add a touch of organic artistry.  It adds a custom touch and makes an already special guitar stand out even more.  The handwork on the inlay is incredible - zoom in on the photos to see it closer.

This model ships with a hardshell case and ES2 acoustic electronics.  So, this guitar can be taken out for live performances as well.

The guitar is in excellent condition - the previous owner bought it as a collector's pieces and kept it safely in his climate controlled music room.  The techs in our shop have set it up to play perfectly and it's ready for the next collection.

Crafted to deliver the ultimate playing experience, the Builder's Edition K24ce blends a refined, ergonomic playing experience with premium tonewoods and a textured, vibrant acoustic sound.   This is a premium acoustic, at the top of the lineup, and perfect for players who want the best that Taylor has to offer.
