The Taylor K22ce Grand Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar is alluring to the eyes and ears with its Hawaiian koa back, sides, and top. This rare and exotic tonewood is prized for its stunning golden hues, bold grain figure, and sweet tone. The visual allure of the koa is complemented with shimmering abalone trim around the top and soundhole, while figured maple binds the body, fingerboard, soundhole, peghead, and heelcap. The slotted headstock and tuners add a traditional folk touch. The K22ce Grand Concert is performance-ready, with a Venetian cutaway and Taylor’s Expression System electronics.The Grand Concert is the quintessential small-bodied guitar. Its comfortable shape delivers clarity and a balanced response for an unforgettable player experience. Scaled-down proportions and short scale make the Grand Concert ideal for fingerstyle playing. Designed to faithfully reproduce true acoustic guitar tone, the Taylor Expression electronics utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors to capture top and string vibration like never before. Created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer, Mr. Rupert Neve, the Taylor Expression System is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound. The finish used to create the lustrous gloss top, back, and sides of the K22ce was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes.
