The Next Generation K24ce Special Edition is a cutaway Grand Auditorium in Select-grade Hawaiian koa, the grade Taylor picks for its varied colour and natural striping. With scalloped V-Class bracing and a long-tenon neck joint, Taylor describes a lively, punchy voice with a forward midrange, clear trebles and warm lows, and the koa gains depth and sweetness as it's played.
The Action Control Neck allows string height changes on the fly, and the Claria system offers volume, mid-contour and tone. Appointments mix shell and wood: paua GA-LTD inlays, a paua and Indian rosewood rosette, Indian rosewood binding, a dark stained sycamore pickguard and polished bronze tuners, with a mother-of-pearl logo on the peghead. The Shaded Edgeburst and gloss body give the koa grain more visual depth.
It shares the all-koa body with the Next Generation K24ce, which uses figured koa, maple appointments and a bevelled cutaway. The Builder's Edition K24ce adds an armrest and chamfered edges with paua trim.
