Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
Another all-Koa showstopper from Taylor! This one's been played a bit since its creation a few years ago, but it's ready for much, much more. You can hear how the sweet, mid-rangey tonality is starting to adopt some of the warmth and expansiveness that will continue to develop with playing and time. But, thanks to the spacious Grand Symphony body style, you'll have no problem going straight to broadcasting the K26CE's honeyed voice on stages of all sizes--the Expression System III will help with that, too! Whether you want to add power and warmth to your fingerstyle or a more modern, bright tonality to your flatpicking, this Koa beauty will be sure to captivate you and the audience you're sure to attract!
Watch & listen
From Taylor Guitars
Hawaiian koa’s captivating beauty is matched by a tone that blossoms over time, especially in the midrange. Its voice is bright and focused, with warm overtones that slowly emerge, adding sweetness and depth. Premium all-wood appointments, led by the Island Vine fretboard inlay, celebrate the wood’s natural appeal.
