Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor’s right-handed K22ce pairs a 12-fret Grand Concert format with a Venetian cutaway, solid figured Hawaiian koa construction, and Expression System 2 electronics. The smaller Grand Concert body is described with controlled overtones, helping it remain clear when other instruments share the arrangement. V-Class bracing adds volume, sustain, and more consistent intonation. For amplified work, the ES2 system supports a PA, acoustic amplifier, or direct recording software connection.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording arrangements with other instruments, where controlled overtones leave more sonic space.
- Stage or studio amplification through a PA, acoustic amplifier, or direct recording software.
- Players favoring a compact 12-fret format with access to the upper register.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players specifically wanting a larger Grand Auditorium body; this is a smaller Grand Concert.
- Left-handed players; this model is listed as right-handed.
