Acoustic Guitars Taylor K22ce V-Class Bracing (1205252079)

Taylor’s all-koa Grand Concert has long been a player favorite for its combination of musical complexity and visual beauty. The K22ce, made with top, back and sides of solid Hawaiian koa, boasts an eye-catching aesthetic thanks to a lustrous finish treatment and organic visual appointments that honor koa’s island origins. Tonally, this model serves up a blend of warm midrange frequencies and a clear, articulate top-end, making it a great choice for fingerstyle players. The koa top also adds a bit of natural compression to balance out an aggressive attack, which is helpful in recording situations. The K22ce ships with built-in ES2 electronics and a deluxe hardshell case.

FEATURES

• Grand Concert Body Shape: A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.
  
• Hawaiian Koa Back & Sides: Few woods carry the allure of Hawaiian koa, with its gorgeous figure and sweet, complex tone.
  
• Hawaiian Koa Top: A koa top’s visual beauty is instantly inspiring, while its sonic rewards unfold over time, as warm, sweet overtones gradually emerge.
  
• Expression System 2 Electronics: The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
  
• Venetian Cutaway: The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
  
• V-Class Bracing: Taylor’s patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
